A new cover for Louise Brooks' acclaimed book of essays, Lulu in Hollywood, has just been revealed. This bold new design has now shown up on public library online catalogs (that's where I first noticed it), along with commercial sites such as amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and Books-a-Million. What do you think?
As with the previous "expanded edition" published in 2000, this new look edition is published by the University of Minnesota Press. And like the 2000 edition, this 2025 edition owes a little something to its existence to the efforts of the Louise Brooks Society. More on that later.... One wonders, can a first ever e-book release of Lulu in Hollywood be far behind?
For more on Lulu in Hollywood, be sure and check out the Louise Brooks Society pages on the book, which includes a history of the book, an annotated bibliography of reviews, and a gallery of covers from all around the world.

I like it. It looks bold, fresh and eye-catching -- just like Louise! All while still appropriately conveying the silent era.
I agree. The back cover, which I've seen, carries over really well.
