 Re: Off topic, but need an opinion

Lando,

A few of my other book covers used the same Lulu cover tool. I think Lulu has
an assortment of covers to choose from, but also allows building custom covers.
I thought about a custom cover for my book, but my art ability isn't what it
used to be.

Some of my other book covers are viewable here:

Hi!

I think the color is right..But depends on what the book is actually about..If it's about religion, I guess it's the perfect fit for the book...
On the other hand http://my.lulu.com/content/15419 has the same colors...

See you!

Well, I'm just a crackhead or something. I noticed under the Acknowledgments section that I accidentally referred to my Grandfather, James, as my grandmother.

Oops.

"James Williams, my grandmother, blah blah blah..."

Thus, I had to write the following letter to many bookstores, which
took a lot of time:

" 'The Rosetta' (ISBN: 1411608011) has been updated and expanded into a new edition retitled "The Rosetta Star".

The pages have increased from 142 to 157, and the new ISBN number for The Rosetta Star is: 1-4116-1074-1

Additionally, the product description for "The Rosetta Star" has changed. The new description is: "Two years after The Rosetta, a star is born. John had often wondered about his life. Now was his chance!" (157 pages)

Lulu Press still publishes the book, and the page details on "The Rosetta Star" are available from:
http://my.lulu.com/content/67580

The book has undergone a lot of changes in the past few days, including over 30 pages of new content and an expanded story. I also changed the title from "The Rosetta" to "The Rosetta Star".

I've had to reassign the ISBN twice in the past few days, so some bookstores may accidentally have two editions listed in the data base. Thus, the latest ISBN version is 1-4116-1074-1.

Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for correcting and updating the information on 'The Rosetta Star'."

I guess that extra $150 to reassign, yet again, the ISBN will prove that I shouldn't go without sleep for 48 hours just to finish the publication of a book. wink

Does the cover for my book look okay?:

http://my.lulu.com/content/67064

I think a different cover would look better, and for some
odd reason they defaulted the color to light blue (which looks
odd against the dark blue background). Is this the right cover
to be using, or does the book need a more vibrant and
attractive color?
