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 I agree.The dark letters seem too bold and distract from the rest of the cover.The light lettering is perfectly legible,while allowing you to look at the whole picture. the wheels of the gods turn very slowly

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 I think the same thing! To me, the dark is easier to read but, I like your dad to stick out. I guess it comes down to how people look at a book. By the picture or by the title.
