This should be madatatory reading for Lulu authors, I'd go further and suggest Lulu includes it in it's help pages. It's so chock full of useful information, it's almost a crime that Ron's giving it away free as a download. It's not so much a "how to", but a "what to think about". A great job Ron, many thanks

All right, so perhaps there isn't really any hype or hoopla surrounding the release of Ron Miller's latest Lulu---But there should be. Miller's book is clear, concise and immeasureably helpful.

In just a few short, beautifully illustrated pages, Miller explains what defines a successful book cover, how an author (not an artist) can create or commission one, and provides an extensive list of free online resources. Every self-published author who hopes to make his/her book a success needs this tome.
excellent resource

This is an indispensable aid to all Lulus who want their book to have a professional looking cover. Full of tips and links to help the self publisher.

Thanks Ron!

Great little e-book [ No Rating ] 27 Feb 2006
In this e-book, Ron not only gives advice on what makes an effective book cover based on his own experience; he also provides the reader with several examples and a extensive list of links with free or inexpensive images. It saved me a great deal of search engine woes.

Go get it while you can!
