More Critiques of Covers and Photos

Fiction

The Largess of the Sea Maiden by Denis Johnson. I like the cover art, it is very simple. Author photo is in black and white and looks like it is from 1984.

Beneath the Sugar Sky by Seanan McGuire. The cover art is not my style. The author photo is head and shoulder shot with nice color.

Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton. The cover photos is too pink for me. Author photo is black and white and printed on the inside pages. Printing on those inside end pages means the photo quality is never that good.

City of Endless Night by Preston and Child. Cover art is too blue for me. The photo of the two authors has them in black clothes against a black background. Their heads are floating.

Mood Indigo by Ed Ifkovic. The cover is nice. Not great, but nice. Author is a head and shoulder shot that looks like a standard business guy photo. Ifkovic is a neat name. The word seems like a mix between Polish and something like Xhosa.

Tarnished City by Vic James. Cover art has too much going on for me.  Author photo is a very nicely lit black and white. Best photo so far.

Atomic City Girls by Janet Beard. Cover art is nice. I like the images. Author photo is a teeny tiny color image on the back cover. Beard lives in Columbus, OH. They are supposed to have a nice library system.

How to Stop Time by Matt Haig. This is my favorite cover. Author photo is nicely done with good color.

Large Print
