A book’s cover isn’t the final factor in whether a book sells well or not, but it does, certainly, play a roll. For one thing, the cover immediately sets the tone, helping the potential reader understand what the book offers. Often one book sells well and publishers copy its design for a similar book.
Have you got a favorite book cover from all those published in ’09? If so you can upload an image of it to The Huffington Post’s “Photo Poll.”
Out of the ones already up, my vote goes to Perfection: A Memoir of Betrayal and Renewal, Julie Metz’s well-received tale of infidelity. Metz is a graphic artist and designed the cover herself.
