I didn't want this to be my first post here, but I'll say it anyway.

This cover is simply brilliant with it's concept, originality and well execution. Unlike others, it completely nails the context as well. The natural feel because of all that handmade work is what would personally make me feel better when sitting down to read a 100-page e-book.

And I have to put my two cents on another matter as well. If this (or thirteen's cover for that matter) gets chosen, it goes completely underpriced for what it's worth. First of all professional book cover designs usually cost around 2k. Now those books are sold way cheaper and target a larger field-but the profit goes to a lot of places. Whereas this book is overpriced and is for a very small certain group of people, and the profit only goes to 2-3 people. The main point here is that, if you'r offering a special product that CLAIMS to differ from all the other products on that market, you need to get every basic thing good + add a value to it. And if the added value is context here, you need to stop doing other things as cheap and fast (the typos for instance) as possible.

I understand giving back to the community even for 500$, and I really think it's a great idea. It will help more to your book as well. But man up, and pay at least 1000.

If this were open voting I'd vote for the workbook cover. The cards from the heavens one looks fantastic but I think the workbook concept is really good. Those two are the frontrunners imo.

edit: hmm it's actually really really close since the cards from the heavens matchs up with the title so well. This expert opinion is based off my one semester of graphic design in which I received a C+.

I thought that the people who buy this book, know what its about and what to expect, so I opted for a conceptual look with this cover.

Some of you guys who don't get picked might want to run what you've got by Mason at some later point. He's not putting out anything new in the near future so far as I know, but there's a few of these I'm sure he'd consider using.

A number of very well done covers and it is hard to choose just one. However, I believe that this is the best, as it is tops both conceptually and visually.

i don't understand why this **** is selling for 1800? is it like one million pages of super quality material or what?

For $1850 it better read itself to me and make me double that within 30 days with a money back guarentee.

BTW the workbook design is by far the best so far.
