It would have so much more impact if they did something different with the subtitle (maybe fit it in the spaces between the main title words?). Also, the penguin is in a horribly distracting place.Rainahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02833293246807028499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-59286901853488760732009-10-17T08:57:35.185-05:002009-10-17T08:57:35.185-05:00I like the second and the last one.

The others are fine, except I found Sex With Kings to be a little busy, but that's probably the publisher's fault between the PS tag and the NY Times quote.Protagitronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15538902198487713702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-27408419696366906752009-10-16T21:15:08.470-05:002009-10-16T21:15:08.470-05:00I love the first three best.

...I like the neat last two but not the first three.<br /><br />1. Too much text to appreciate the art<br /><br />2. I don't like the typo and I'm slightly fed up with the book-within-book concept.<br /><br />3. It hurts my eyes.Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11239850097877164676noreply@blogger.com
