The whale is inside of the carrier being reborn?

To be fair, I happen to know (I’m a member of the same Web site as the author) that this book is aimed at an audience of hardcore history buffs who might not care so much about the cover.

The cover isn’t so much bad (see the cover with the planes above it), as it is just extremely boring. It’s like the cover page of a high schooler’s book report – functional, but bland.

On the other hand, a TON of military non-fiction books have covers that aren’t that much different. The standard practice for such texts is typically TITLE (above) STOCK PHOTO (above) SUBTITLE (above) AUTHOR. Switch title and author if you’re someone famous, like Stephen Ambrose, but otherwise it’s pretty much how they’re done…except they’re done by professional cover designers.

Looks 1,000 times better (but not 1,001 times, that’d be crazy).

Not even joking, you might want to consider contacting the author and just emailing that to ’em. Pay it forward an’ all.
