I like me some books too.<br /><br />as you can see the price is much higher and I hope more people buy the kindle version because it's cheaper and easier and the price is worth a gamble although I'm encouraging all readers to market simply via word of mouth. If you like it , tell 3 friends.<br /><br />For signed copies I'd purchase the book, have it shipped to me for signing and then ship it on. This will increase the cost again.<br /><br />One suggestion is that people who want signed copies find me a gig nearby and I'll bring them a signed copy. You know who you are. : )winsomecowboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05507483640600617292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129029512067984862.post-9097962045397425552011-06-12T10:53:44.476-07:002011-06-12T10:53:44.476-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Fettucinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11789769593311081496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129029512067984862.post-24734131643326445082011-06-12T10:52:55.668-07:002011-06-12T10:52:55.668-07:003 is my fav.

I'm interested in non designer input as well as those with the lexicon.<br /><br />The first two are pretty bad, mostly because of the placement of that hideous Impact-esque font. Fortunately, the third one is the best without a doubt, here's why:<br />The font is much better and fits the pictoral subject matter.<br />The sepia toning is an improvement because it works with the font.<br />The positioning of the text creates a symmetry that lets the reader follow the title through to the author clearly.<br />The off-set red line is a nice touch; it creates the presence of a window or frame that conjures up a sensation of movement or distance. Hard to explain, but it works.<br />Unlike the first two, there is no border- this is good because for a lot of designs, the presence of a border makes it look more like a flyer than a book cover.<br />The fourth option is also good but the "saloon" font seems somewhat misplaced here.winsomecowboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05507483640600617292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129029512067984862.post-11170266155890057982011-06-08T13:34:50.089-07:002011-06-08T13:34:50.089-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.winsomecowboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05507483640600617292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129029512067984862.post-4436272969517361102011-06-08T05:54:41.069-07:002011-06-08T05:54:41.069-07:00Black & white - there are no "sepia-face&...Black & white - there are no "sepia-face" clowns, so far as I know. Keep the full-bleed title and font of #3 (#4 looks like a cheesy Western). Lose the red line - distracting, and it bisects the protagonist. Up the size of the sub-head, move it up closer to the title, and lose the italics. You need legibility here, and I agree that it's meant to engender curiosity. I could care less about the red star - why a red star? Why a star? Some punctuating element, ok, but this appears like a random dingbat. Is there not something that has context that could be used? Something relating to the alphabet, perhaps? Typewriter key? <br /><br />Almost there, Martin. Xxs.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908046113356667795noreply@blogger.com
