Your site is beautiful. Your photos are beautiful. Parents will buy your book because they want something pure and simple -- so avoid junky typefaces and arbitrary colors on the cover. Choose a simple arrangement of type stripped over one big, beautiful photo -- even if you have to pay a professional food photographer. It will be worth it because this will impact your sales.<BR/><BR/>You have a great concept -- get a great book cover!<BR/>kittanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1155098985130871832006-08-08T21:49:00.000-07:002006-08-08T21:49:00.000-07:00I like the first one, but I am with the poster tha...I like the first one, but I am with the poster that said that the second one with the heavy purple bars would be perfect. I think the lines add interest, but make the script harder to read. Adding that little touch would be just wonderful.<BR/><BR/>I truly love your blog. I am not vegan, (home grown eggs and local bgh free cheese live very happily at our house) but your ideas are such an inspiration and your pictures are wonderful!
