I agree with this. My wife cannot understand my "irrational" dislike of Copperplate Bold.

She was going to use it on her website and business cards, and I kept saying "If you want to make people think you're prickly and old-fashioned, that's an awesome font for it."

The cover is a new piece, actually.

As the author of the book, I'm someone biased in any opinion about the cover, so I'm going to step out of any qualitative discussions about it.

However, if people are unsatisfied with it, some constructive suggestions would be far more useful than just bashing it. I recall when GURPS displayed their initial cover, and then had the contest to produce a better cover, which resulted in the current look and feel. I wonder if anyone would be willing to post some alternatives in graphic format.
