Ignore the card design, I'll probably trash that, just curious how this type of color scheme sits with other people. I started out with somewhat brighter colors but have been toying with this look a little bit.

I actually like the card design. Color wise I'm torn between the 2 most recent submissions.

Black is definitive. You need a plain black book. Then you can stop.

Hi Gonso:

Thanks to your pictures I realized that my contest post contained an error that I have now corrected.

So to be clear, the title of the book is:

Professional No-Limit Hold ’em: Volume I

and the subtitle is:

Learn to Think and Play Like a Professional

Best wishes,
Mason

Hi Mason:

Easy to fix, but since you brought it up, don't you think the "professional" bit is a little redundant?

Hi Gonso:

Perhaps you're right, but I think that should be left up to the authors. We can still make a slight change in the title if they choose to do so.

On the other hand, given that the second "professional" is in the subtitle rather than the title, it's probably okay.

Best wishes,
Mason

Gotta admit, I kinda like the king. It's original.

Color-wise I kinda like the first one (green).

Bright colors ftw !! ... the latter two books are both cool, and stragely enough, there is something nice about the carddesign too ... makes it look like a serious book.


Edit: Do four volumes, one red, one blue, one green and one black (grey) .. for and with each of the suits represented.
