That font looks like it was ripped from a 70s era computer manual.

Wow! That looks only vaguely like the last two slugs I have sitting here of the cover.

I'm very disappointed this is what it is going to look like.

I mean its your guys book and all, but the full jacket he submitted was butchered.

EDIT: Since I sit here stunned looking at this, and seeing the negative comments. And I know Mark will not defend himself, because he respects these guys and the books so much. What is being printed is not what it was supposed to look like. I would rather not piss off these guys more so I will refrain from posting the actual way the thing was supposed to look like.

The sans serif font type proabably has something to do with that.



Given the fact that shortly after I buy the book, the cover is going to be punctured by spiral coil binding, the cover looks OK to me.

Well, I don't think it's a very good idea to plan a book so that it's a great base for later added spiral binding and highlight markings. I appreciate good readability and durability a la LGB. But there are also pretty durable and readable paperback text books. They never seem to have very thick pages.

I think your back cover is suffering from a bad case of grocers apostrophe .

Surely it's 'hows and whys', not 'how's and why's'?
