I honestly am so disapointed with this that i am contemplating cancelling my order. Going to start and read the book tomorrow, it might change my mind ...

Overall I like the cover for this, though I wish it was a wraparound (Perhaps with the detonation on the front)

Dan, you can please everyone, so you should really just worry about what I like.

Pshh, I know Brian already messages you all sorts of secrets through Facebook.... lol

Well, this is the only cover from CD I haven't cared for, but I don't buy books based on their cover (I didn't care for the cover of the American release of Ghost Story). If the author and the artist are content with the cover, then that's what counts--it's their work that's out there.

And you could do worse than catering to Brad's likes and dislikes (like catering to mine) so that might be something worth considering.

I thought everyone would like that.

Did they not see the artwork long before they hit the trigger to purchase IT in the first place - jeez, some people are impossible to please !!! As far as I'm concerned the cover art for IT was the total ants pants

It's just one of those things we've learned. Not everyone is going to like the cover, so we've come to pick what we / the author likes. Most of the time it pleases most people. An example of that is that we had someone email in about how much they hated the cover artwork for IT and wanted their money back.

Now that is just crazy.

Dan I like the cover.Does that earn me any extra points.No I do like the cover it is kind of creepy.

This is not a title I ordered but I actually like the cover. The art is beautiful and I thought it would be a great wrap around cover but I do like the black bars and the font of the title.

[Dan Hocker]

I hate the font. I think the art on the front alone would have been perfect. I'm quite disapointed now. The spine is still there for title/author no need to splatter the front with the horrible black sections and bad font/coloring. Now I like the trade edition better. Its font fits with the art and the whole thing together looks amazing.

I'm sorry you don't like it. Everyone here at the office really liked it though. As far as just having the art on the dust jacket with no text, that's not really something we do or in most cases really care for. I can only think of one book that we've ever done that for, which was the lettered edition of Full Dark No Stars. It's really just not something we do.

[srboone]

You're right, the font overshadows the spectacular art.

The same type design was used for Killing Ghost, but the font used compliments the art and adds a chilling touch to it.

Hahaha well it's true what i said. The artwork for Pure is stunning to say the least and this dustjacket designe really isn't showing it off. Is there no chance that it can be changed? Maybe have a simple yes no survey, because for a lavish limited edition i think the type should be minimal.
