Cover of A. Michael Shumate: 21st Century Book Cover Design (ePUB)

Between 75 to 80% of all books are sold online, whether they are hardback, paperback or digital. That means the first cover a customer is likely to see is going to be about 160 pixels tall or smaller. That, in turn, means that some design techniques that used to work are no longer viable. Learn the 21st Century approach to book cover design because people do judge a book by its cover.
