This thread was inspired by Lithub's recent article on the design inside a book:

Not Just Covers, But Every Page: Why Writers Should Talk About Book Design Early On ‹ Literary Hub (lithub.com)

If you want your book in a specific edition because it's pretty or it matches the rest of the series, ask us about it. If we don't have it, we might be able to get it for you

If you weren't meant to judge books by their covers, they'd all be covered in plain brown paper. But they aren't, and neither are you.

The author and title font and placement are deliberate, the colours and art are all meant to catch your eye, tell you about the book and encourage you to pick it up. The back cover blurb is meant to get you invested in the story and its characters and make you want to know what happens next and how.
