Matchy matchy book covers
Have you ever noticed matching book covers? I was in Walmart one night and stopped to pick up a book that I thought I had read before. (Why was I picking up a book I'd already read? Because I loved it so much I just wanted to hold it in my hands and look at it and maybe sniff it a little.) Turned out it wasn't my book at all but a completely different one with THE EXACT SAME COVER.
Ever since then, I notice this phenomenon all the time.

Ya know.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it's not so much a case of the authors as the publisher, or more likely, the self-publisher. I'm just starting to work with the folks over at CreateSpace and seeing this makes me wonder if some self-publishing graphic designers have limited graphic designs?
Hmmm.
I don't think that cover would work for my book.
