2 covers: which is better? - Page 2

I like the colour of the second one. A long time ago I heard - I think it was on the radio - that red covers sell better than any other colour. They certainly stand out more, especially as thumbnails. But I agree that the placement of the font needs adjusting.

Thanks BookCat. Agreed. I'm going with the pink one and I'll get the text worked out. Appreciate it.

I'd pick #2 if those were my only choices, but I think they're both a bit bland. Nothing about them says "romance" to me. Have you checked out any pre-made covers? Some of them are really attractive and inexpensive.

The second one. The first one is so generic that it screams holiday photo to me. It would work better if you cut the sides of it, as suggested above with Bridges of Madison County.

Thanks Lima Bean and Munch.
