A lot of people don't like the trend, but it must have worked well with their focus groups. :-) I like the side/back view idea, too. There is still mystery, but at least the woman has a head!<br /><br />LezlieLezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747969193923246804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552020989914140175.post-25714993193450667392009-10-25T00:03:37.254-04:002009-10-25T00:03:37.254-04:00Lezlie - it's odd I guess that I have the oppo...Lezlie - it's odd I guess that I have the opposite of the typical reaction to a headless cover, because it seems they sell because people are turned of by seeing the whole face - I'm turned off by the headlessness and would, if I knew nothing about the books, be more likely to pick up a book without a headless cover - not even neccesarily showing the face but could be something such as a full view from the back, or a landscape... it's just the chopped up nature I dislike, I feel like I'm not seeing the whole picture and it drives me *nuts*!<br /><br />I really hope marketing trends change someday. I'm finding I like young adult covers more lately because they are not headless as often.Rebecca Hermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12045279026055038231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5552020989914140175.post-85558800308407421612009-10-24T22:56:38.132-04:002009-10-24T22:56:38.132-04:00I'm so glad you all like it; I'm thrilled,...I'm so glad you all like it; I'm thrilled, too!
