The Look: Dressed to Sell

Our cover star on the coat, the pose, and the hand on the chin that says "I have a book for sale".

Coat: black, long. Pose: considering an offer. Offers near $1,000,000: none so far.

Some men wear a coat. Some men wear a coat while thinking about a book they have written. Our cover star is the second kind.

The coat. Black, long, buttoned only where it matters. It says "author". It also says "it's cold in Denmark".

Hand to chin: the universal sign for "I'm considering an offer".

The pose. Hand to chin. The universal sign for "I'm considering an offer". There are no offers anywhere near $1,000,000 to consider yet, but the pose is ready.

The background. Blue. Calm. The colour of a sky with no buyers in it.

The accessory. Not pictured. It's on a shelf. It costs $1,000,000. You can't borrow it for the shoot.
