What is your opinion of the cover?

[Diana Lowery]

Although the old adage warns us not to judge a book by its cover, I find myself doing just that. I know a lot of thought goes into choosing colors, fonts, graphics, and title placement. I think if I saw this book on display at a bookstore, I would pick it up to read the back cover. Would you?

It's so hard not to judge literal books by their covers! I have to admit, I would not have picked this up to read the back cover based on the front cover alone. The colors yellow and red are off-putting to me, and the dots in the corners irritate my OCD, and make me think of my previous job at an IT distributor. I would prefer a cover that is more relatable to someone working at a minimum wage job, if that makes sense.

I am glad you mentioned the dots in the corner. I am curious about their purpose.

The title immediately grabs attention, making it clear that the book is about financial growth and wealth-building, even starting from a modest income.
The simplicity of the design keeps the focus on the title, which is a smart choice for a finance book. It conveys professionalism and makes the book feel accessible to a wide audience. The key takeaway from the cover is that achieving financial success is possible for anyone, reinforcing the book’s theme of financial empowerment.

I agree with your assessment of the title. It does appear that it will appeal to a wide audience. Financial empowerment is currently a hot topic.

I am not one who regularly reads finance related books, so I would probably not pick up this book to read the back cover if I saw it in a book store or in a library.

I don't normally read finance-related books either, but the 100% guarantee does sound promising.

Since this book is not one of my favorite genres, I would have probably walked past it unless I knew the author from previous readings. In this case, the author's picture on the cover would have drawn me to this book because I have read, enjoyed, and found his previous books helpful.

You are right, Bertha; I assume that is one of the reasons why his picture is on there.

I personally don't really find the cover all that appealing. I probably wouldn't have picked it up in a store but as I knew a bit more about it I am excited to read. I prefer way more artistic covers with harmonious colors and without real life pictures. It's nothing bad, just completely not my taste.

Oh yeah the dots really bother me too. They seem a bit uneven and with little purpose so far but I'm curious to learn why such design choice was made.

Perhaps they are spotlights symbolically shining a light on the path to success.

You’re absolutely right! A more attractive cover could definitely make a big difference. The current design, especially the red and yellow combo, doesn’t really convey seriousness or trustworthiness. I also agree that the "read costume" doesn't give off a strong or professional vibe. Maybe a cover that better reflects the experience of someone in a minimum-wage job would resonate more with readers. It’s always interesting how much a cover can influence first impressions!

Yes!! This is such an important thing for a book cover! I think I said this earlier but the red and yellow combo just doesn't seem right. I would definitely go for something more clean, minimalist and simple.

I like it but I think more graphics relating to what is covered in the book would make it more noticeable for readers who don’t usually gravitate towards the genre.
