Have a fabulatastic weekend. :)Jess Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06987689969282168406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12686782.post-1137165479944821682006-01-13T10:17:00.000-05:002006-01-13T10:17:00.000-05:00I wonder how much input the author had on the desi...I wonder how much input the author had on the design, too.

IOW, it was a very misleading cover and it did the author a grave disservice.<BR/><BR/>TanyaShesawriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14904247751806210823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12686782.post-1137162735488376142006-01-13T09:32:00.000-05:002006-01-13T09:32:00.000-05:00I used to think so, too, but take a look at book c...I used to think so, too, but take a look at book covers in the grocery store, for example. There's a lot of them that aren't that famous and yet their name is larger than the title. There's a girl in one of my groups whose books was sitting right there on the shelf and her name was bigger than the title. Not sure whether I'd want that or not...of course a lot of times it's not our decision butthewriterslifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09408434848838447115noreply@blogger.com
