You give us lots of symbols tossed together, but where is the focus? I hope you don’t cook your meals the way you design your covers.

No, seaturtles…you are confusing going down to Georgia with going down on Georgia.

I was going to go off about his mistaking th Star of David for a pentagram, but apparently the book is about a Jewish cowboy. So the cover is still clumsy as hell, but at least it’s accurate?

Also take a look at the “Subjects of interest found in this book” list. Gooood grief.

That tag list is 491 words over 1 character long. There are short-shorts and prose poems that long.

139 subject tags. Wanna bet he missed some? As an appendix to the book, I might understand, but the Amazon book page blurb?

There’s excess. Then there’s wretched excess.

[sigh] I shouldn’t, but I’m glutton for punishment…

Us: Unfortunately, we’re going to pass on the opportunity to review your book.
Him: You mean nobody there has an open mind, or likes a wild adventure?
Us: No, we’re all close-minded dullards.
Him: OK, I’ll take your word for it.

Hello, I’m the author and I’m sorry about that ugly cover. I’m living in poverty in Mexico, just getting food on the table, barely. I have no money to spend on cover design. It is self-published. If you read it you’ll see that it really is a great story, full of adventure, and I told it well. I challenge you to read it and say otherwise. If I get back on my feet someday I’ll pay for someone to design a better cover. It is about a Jewish lawman in Texas in the 1800s who’s son migrates to Hollywood. So, the images are appropriate to the story. Any advice on how to do this better with no money, would be appreciated. Reading and reviewing the book would also be a big help to me. Thanks, -Roger Raffee (author of Devil Out Of Texas)
