Alrightie. Welcome to Grumpyville… I just lost an entire post because my Internet blinked off. And I was asking so nicely, for your help in choosing a book cover — and I so carefully described what the upcoming book is about. However, now I’m doing the bare basics. If you would please be so kind as to help me decide on the cover for my next nonfiction book? Tell me the one you like best in a comment… A, B, C, or D. If you could add “why” that would be great.
I’m showing you Speak Flapper above, for your reference, because this book is about the Roaring Twenties. It’s filled with loads of the kinds of details that authors can use to make their 1920s characters come to vivid life. Ready?
By the way — I wanted to keep it similar to Speak Flapper, but there were limits on that because of a few reasons… Maybe that isn’t all that important…
A
Black on gold, flapper and car
B
The least similar to the rest of my series, but maybe that’s okay…
Photo with cut-outs
C
Cut-out flapper with typewriter and border
D
And lastly… Gold flapper dancing
Let me know which of these works best for you, keeping in mind the kind of book it is. Wishing you a splendiferous rest of the week! Hugs.

I like #4 best, but #1 and #3 are excellent as well. The only one I wasn’t as big a fan of was #2. I’m a big fan of contrasting light and dark colors, so that’s one of the reasons they appeal to me more.

It’s good to see you, Pete. Thanks for this comment. What people don’t like in a book cover is just as interesting to me as what they do like. Hugs.

I prefer D the graphics and colours work better for me. A is OK but the car is too distracting. B is too “busy”, C just doesn’t work for me. Hope this helps 🤗
