"Never judge a book by its cover". Everyone knows this adage, but let's be honest... we all do it. And here, we are speaking in the literal sense of the phrase: Every one of us looks at a book cover first to see how interesting it may be to us. We may not judge solely on the basis of the artistry of the cover, how it's laid out, etc. - but it is part of our decision - often a large part.
Our cover options are designed to offer you the best possible options for your budget. There is no "cheap" cover here - all of them are quality, well designed options. Have your own cover designer already? Not a problem! We can take whatever you send us to use directly as a cover, or to be modified according to the needs of the book or your own wishes. Ready to get your cover started? Contact your Customer Success Manager and get your questions answered!
