I like your subtle text on the front there, and it's great that you're thinking about the back also. I personally don't think that a black spine would work, but that's probably just me. I also feel it looks very crowded.

Perhaps you could submit your design where everybody else is, that way more people will likely comment.

Keep up the good work. It's great to see a wide range of ideas.

Thx for the comment, ill put it in the cover design tread next time, just thought you might loose the overview a bit, if it's all stuffed together

I am quite ok with the black spine... I think it may be attention grabbing enough if people are browsing selves of books.

although I feel that having 2 logos, one at the publisher area and another at the top again is overkill... In fact, I don't think u need the logo again on the back page...
