Cover for my Error Book

I think I finally have the cover designed the way I want it, although I might italicize the word "Die" instead of put it in quotes.

It has been a year so far in terms of writing, taking photos, editing, redesigning, correcting historical information, properly defining terms, etc. I still have 4 chapters to go (total of 14).

I have finally sent out a couple copies to a couple members to read and give their thoughts. When I am done, CONECA said they have people who can review it, and would like a couple other pros to give their opinions as well. My goal is to become a published author.

Well, what are your thoughts about my cover, title, and subtitle?

Definitely go with italics over quotes.

 

That’s cool. Can’t wait to read it!!!

 

"Errors that escaped the U.S. mint". Find out what your error coins are worth and how it was made. How much is this book and is it for sale now ?

 

Are you saying That should be the title, the subtitle, or replace "oddities" in the subtitle

 

Take off the comma after the word freaks. Don't need it there.

 

guessing a title, but Do it your way. It is your book. paddyman98 might have some other good ideas. he collects a lot of error coins. I have some error coins mostly world coins and a few U.S. coins

 

I love it!!! I didn't even know you were making a book! I concur with italics over quotes

 

Here are 3 you should recognize...

 

That is a very very very very very nice looking cover!

 

It can be either or

 

It hasn't even been reviewed yet. Not sure about cost, but I would need color pages and want a hard cover

 

Do you own the SBA? Missing Clad layer on Obverse? I don't remember

 

That's a really attractive cover. I'd go with the italicized "Die" but that's probably picking nits.

 

An obverse missing and a reverse missing

 

You have the SBA reverse missing? I just aquired one myself.

 

A comma after the penultimate item in a list is known as a Serial, Harvard, or Oxford comma. Oxford being the most common term used for such a comma. Use it or don't use to eliminate ambiguity.

In this case there is no ambiguity therefore it is personal taste.

 

Actually, what is the nickel error? Never mind. Doubled eye (that is a variety)
