Dante’s Indiana (Biblioasis Books) is a sequel to Randy Boyagoda’s first novel Original Prin. The second book is described by the publisher as “an extraordinary journey through the divine comedies and tragedies of our time.”

‘Comedy and tragedy’ is also an apt way to describe the surprise in finding out that a book design now has a sequel. There is absolutely a different approach taken in designing a book cover if it’s known that it will become a series vs. doing so after the fact. That said, it’s also an engaging design challenge figuring out just how to extend the design language of a previously published book to a new one!
