The subtitle should be "Smell the Glove". The title and subtitle should appear on the spine only, and the cover should be solid black.

Gonso, to repeat what many others have said, Great Job. Looks sharp.

I think that cover will help sell books which is great. Some very deserving people will make more money and anyone who is buying this book by these authors based soley on the the cover doesn't worry me.

I like the Volume up top with the title more than at the bottom. It looks lost and I think it draws more attention to the volume number than a volume number rates. Again, Fantastic (that's for you , Ed) design.

Roxy - this is definitely better than the all-blank submission from earlier.

I think the all-Latin back-cover might turn some people off though. My vote would be for a consistent English language theme.

In changing the title font you've also gone for the wrong kind of apostrophe.

Hi Roxysurfergirl,

Very nice improvements. I like the typography and color coordination. The designs look very professional and well-done.

good improvements roxy...
The dismembered body was throwing me off
I like how the dark volume 1 type falls on the light colored suit
I would go with the kings over the jacks

I think 2p2 would be in good shape to go with either

Lol, In response to Micro, the latin-font is from what us graphic designers call Lorem Ipsum, which was specifically created to use as text place holders. I was eventually planning to take the English route, however since I have no idea what the text will be on the back, I decided to go with that

I am still a bit confused with the apostrophe situation, one person tells me it's the right kind, another tells me it isn't. Could someone please help.

No, I'm agreeing with the first guy that you want to bend the other way.
