I don't have any preferences regarding colour or font type, only that it be clear to read and eye-catching.<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-43608321334052852082011-02-21T00:10:42.748-05:002011-02-21T00:10:42.748-05:00I loved the cover of Tears of Pearl- that's a ...I loved the cover of Tears of Pearl- that's a big reason why I bought it.

I like that decal edge too and the book has to be well bound - I hate ones that are cheezy. The cover needs to be appropriate to the book without giving me too many images of protagonists - the place if it is important or a symbol of what might have happened. I love Louise Penney's - all of them - she has one cover for the Canadian & British editions and one for the United States' editions. I think you have the Canadian one up there but not positive.Jan Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771180344305042855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-28171229349211480842011-02-20T09:57:13.394-05:002011-02-20T09:57:13.394-05:00Michele - Interesting, isn't it, how those vis...Michele - Interesting, isn't it, how those visuals affect our decision to read or not to read. Of courses, sometimes covers can be off-putting (at least they are to me) if they're too garish, etc.. But absolutely, cover design is important.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-5618575416987889812011-02-20T09:54:30.738-05:002011-02-20T09:54:30.738-05:00Must admit I haven't read the Stieg Larsson bo...Must admit I haven't read the Stieg Larsson books yet. It's a shame, since I'm from the same part of the world.
