I've been trying to figure out which of these covers would be better on the new book. The cover will wrap around the book. Give me y'all's opinions, please.

A. Light letters

B. Dark letters

Black lettering looks better to me.

Agreed. Easier to pickup the lettering especially your fathers name.

I like the white letters


Trapping is easy you say? You try getting your target animal to step in a 3 inch area of its whole territory.

I prefer the light letters. The dark ones draw my eye away from your dad. I think the picture is more interesting than the type face. Eventually the customer will find the title, but the picture is what grabs your interest

You may think before you act. The question is did you listen to your own council?

White lettering
Looks vintage


Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes......
Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....

I like the light letter version, just blends in with the B&W picture better. Seems more correct to my eyes.

Yup... could not agree more.

There's something to me that makes the white lettering much more pleasing.

I see White went with - white, but he's wrong...The black lettering is more visible and does not become lost on the photo...

Expert opinion here.
The Dark Letters are best. Really catch your eye.
