Salesperson: Would you like one?
Grant: No thanks.
Salesperson: The author is very popular. Early reviews say it’s destined to be a modern classic.
Grant: It’s beige.
Salesperson: That was my idea. Instead of a dramatic image and the title in bold I thought, what if it was not just a plain cover, but the plainest!
Salesperson: Because, you see, this book is so highly anticipated that it sells itself.
Grant: Not to me.
Grant: No thanks.

Boo, hiss.
No matter how crappy the book cover, you should at least read the book blurb on the back (or wherever it’s hidden).
What’s the worst book design you’ve seen lately? I’ve seen process blue text ink (one was a vanity project, the other had an author named Blue), OCR A as a text font (not really a book, but still, made me long for Comic Sans), and reverse-printed page numbers in a fade, rendering them indistinguishable.
