Dark letters for my vote.

I thought this too. I like the white letters best.

Boss Man....my son the Author...says to move your Title to the top left of the pic...so you can see your name ..In White. Is that pic going to be on the cover....or is that pic going to be split in 1/2 ...with your dad being the cover and the other 1/2 on the back ?

I would move the title over to top left ...and make the font "BY CHARLES L. DOBBINS ''a wee bit larger than it is now.

I like the while letters . The slight shadow brings them out well too.

The image you see is the front and back of the cover. The front cover will probably be one of these two.

Yes, I would still slightly enlarge the "Charles Dobbins" type, and drop it down a couple clicks. Maybe a bump or two to the right as well.
