Purple Or Blue, It's Up To You [View all]

New B5 book series about to be launched! This is a site to help them decide what color to use for the covers, purple or blue. Click on the link and you'll get to help their staff choose. Plus, they've listed all of the responses guessing what the series "Intelligence from the Great Machine" will cover

Purple Or Blue, It's Up To You

While we've released books in the past with a choice of covers there was a specific reason.

For example Artifacts from Beyond the Rim was available with a black cover (to match the Scripts series) or a white cover (to match our Asked & Answered, Crusade, and Echoes series). We wanted to make sure that all our collectors had a book that matched their sets.

Since this cover doesn't match an existing series, we need to choose one color. And this began a heated, internal debate. It's at the point now where the B5 Books Team has segregated itself into Team Blue and Team Purple...with equal staff on each side.

While this isn't a "feud" on the level of the Hatfields and the McCoys we do need an intervention. YOU.

I'm surprised they didn't just pick colors from a barrel
