Presumably he
could tell them though - even if they reserved the right not to listen.
You make Steve sound a bit passive when we know he isn't.

Personally I object to it because it wouldn't leap out at me at the bookstore.
It actually
doesn't look very corporate to me. The font (+outline) used for the Author's name in particular looks a bit amateurish to me.
But like you say,
I'm gonna buy a copy, regardless of what it looks like, so you don't have to convince me.
If you want a corporate look have you tried running it past some of your more corporate friends and associates to see if they like it?
