Comic Sans not only underlined, but also in its own brown box with a nice thick border, place to hide the only thing in the background photo that might have something of interest. Almost a “Grand Slam Comic Sans” but they didn’t mess with the kerning.

If you have to put testimonials (by people most people have never heard of and whose “credentials” need to be listed to validate the testimonials) you’re already in big trouble.

Also: boring pic and crappy PhotoShop filter.

If this book is supposed to “shine a compassionate light” why does the cover photo look like something from the opening of credits of “Tales from the Darkside”?

I thought I was the only one that remembered that show.

Putting things into perspective, Comic Sans comprises only 16.67% of the fonts used on this cover.

Six (count ’em) SIX if you count fonts as fonts and not faces. (50% of the fonts are Georgia.)

Comic Sans outline underline should count as three fonts at least, though.

What is wrong with the roof on the porch? Is it falling down or falling off? Plus it’s out of alignment with the building. It looks to me like someone took pieces of different architectural features and mushed them together, then added the filter/s to disguise it. Except why would you have to? There’s got to be thousands of photos he could have started with that didn’t need a mashup.

Unless the photo is actually of a house that wonky. Is it a symbolic statemnent of the theme of the book?
