The Importance of Book Cover Design and Formatting: For self-published authors by J.D. Smith

4.0

It's not a bad overview for new self published authors to better understand design elements of books. For those looking for a clear how-to you'll be disappointed. This is mostly geared to helping you hire a good designer and /or formatter for your book.

It will also help you know the language used by designers. This will help in knowing what to prepare before looking to hire and things to look out for.

Definitely worth the read for any newbie indie authors.
