Kitty, the book is about a vacillating main character who's roommate, a med student, turns him on to Abulinix, an experimental new treatment for chronic indecision.
These things are all subjective, so what works for one may not necessarily work for another. Title and cover design are what cause me to pick up a book, and except for the color, this book doesn't tempt me very much.
I adore it! I love all these bookcovers that look like mini posters, little works of art. And coming from an illustration background I'm excited that there's so many gorgeous illustrated covers at the moment.
It kinda smacks of the Jonathan Safran Foer trademark designs, but I'm sure those designs smack of someone else's designs originally. I just don't like when it's so obvious that in-house designers have jumped on some sort of bandwagon because a particular themse or style sold so well.

I can't decide ... no joke. The color catches my eye, but the design doesn't seem to work with the title.

I like this design a lot, too.

Very cool - love the illustration. I'd certainly pick this one up.
Oh, dear, I see the spammers have hit your fabulous blog.
Oy. But it's good to know that "I am making good job." :-)
