I thought I had nice covers, I really did. I thought it was all about the picture. I thought only non-fiction could use this approach. Boy, was I wrong! I have taken in just 30 minutes, two of my book covers and applied his techniques. I was surprised that I actually found a tear come to my eye. The book helped show me some elements I needed to understand to put my own book together. It also showed me exactly why some of my books have been selling better than others. (Hint: My choice in designs and designers!) The author has taken out some of the mystery of the guesswork, and I really appreciated the novel.If you are looking for a book on actually pulling together design, this is a good book to have. I can't vouch for the other two yet, but when I eventually read them I will let everyone know.The only reason this wasn't a five star book is because it does need a little help here and there. I don't know if it is a kindle type book error or not but exclamation points and commas shouldn't sit side by side. Also the first chart repeats a number. Very simple things. If this were fiction, I would rate it three, but as it has some of the best information out there I have learned, I can't give this less than a four.
