The cover doesn't look like any MASH cover I remember; this is the original cover.
Joe Klingler seems an odd name to make up. Are you implying it's a riff on the character of Klinger in the television show? That seems a reach to me, especially since this is the author's second novel.
And finally, the term mash up originated in the practice of mixing different bits of music, so I can believe it's appropriate here.
Yeah, the guy is paying for reviews and awards and he's spent far more than $800, but that gets a big "so what" from me. He's playing the indie game and he's being professional about it.
I don't think you've made a good case here and I wonder why you've gone out of your way to cite this book, frankly. |
That is not the cover on the older copy of MASH. Mine looks almost like the poster ZodWallop posted.
Anyway, I was just giving my reasons why I wouldn't buy the book.
I do know of another author that was flat out stealing covers and titles from well known romance authors but I guess HE finally gave up when people realized that the books were not good.
He hasn't published anything in over a year.
