A lot of things tell me I do not want to read this book. Mostly the words on the cover.
The typography is the least of the cover sins here. The big one is the author’s ego running utterly amuck. Subsequent sins arise from that biggie.
The relentless self-promotion here would ensure I pass it by without even being temped to open it — even to sneer at it.
YUCK!
Is this a National Enquirer cover?
Definitely not the National Geographic’s! Is that ship even the Titanic? It looks more like a cruiser-in DRYDOCK-to me.
Compared to photos of Titanic, the cover ship looks like Titanic with squished aspect ratio and very forced perspective (that hawsehole for the anchor is very exaggerated).
Thanks for the heads-up. Who reads this tripe anyway? Prude voyeurs like those who made Hollywood=Babylon! a bestseller?
The final victims have yet to die? Well, kill them, then!
