First, let's make clear. This book is NOT for those who already know how to work basic imaging applications. So if you already know how to use paint, paintshop, photoshop pro--- this book is not for you.This book is for those who, not only do not know how to work these programs, but also don't have the funds to purchase these programs or the services of those who do.The book goes through basic reasons why book covers are essential to creating sales. Remember that old adage of not judging a book by its cover? Yeah. This book blows that myth right out of the water.It goes into detail why book covers are necessary, what types of fonts are best used on covers, AND details exactly how to use programs nearly anyone who doesn't have alot of funds might have access to.The only reason why I couldn't give this book a grand 5 stars was because there were a few minor editing issues.Otherwise, I learned things I didn't know about programs I already have, and will most likely create better covers as a result.Awesome job :)
