Ok, since Steve asked what we think, here's my opinion.
First, I'm gonna buy the book no matter what, even if the book cover has a picture of a dung on it. I'm already way pre-sold on this book.
Second, my first reaction was "I don't like it". It seems cheap. Some books are kind of cheap - with cheap covers to reduce expenses. That's not the way I'd want Steve's book to be sold as. Maybe it's just the way the image is portrayed on the computer screen, but it just looks cheap.
Third, I don't get the biggest letters being on "Smart People". At first glance, it would seem to be a book of "How to become Smart" as in raising your I.Q, which isn't what the theme of the book is (if I understand it correct).
Fourth, the book cover may not make that much of a difference in the kind of sales Steve has anyhow.
Fifth, I kind of prefer
Tuumble's version of the book. It's an improvement, but I feel it could still be improved. At least, it looks less cheap.
Six, what do we know about designing books covers anyway? I would think the experts at Hay House would know more about designing book covers to meet their targeted audience then us lay people. But then again, experts can and are often wrong.
In an unrelated, but related topic, I'm curious to know if Steve will get written endorsements on the book by other authors/well-known people in the personal development field.
