Sample Book Cover Designs and Jacket Art:

If your book has a professionally designed cover and your prospect is interested in the topic, you can be confident in your book cover’s ability to usher your buyer into that next step where she will review the back cover to make a more informed decision. At that point your professional front cover has made its sale, now it’s your back cover’s turn to move your buyer further along the sales cycle.

If your book’s front cover is not professional and generally looks generic, chances are the book beside it will be what attracts the consumer’s eye. To make this critical first sale, invest in a professional book cover design.
