Book Cover Fail!

Look closely at the cover of this book that is listed on Amazon.com. Does anything strike you as odd? Yes, the “iStockPhoto” watermark is still on the cover image. This is a good example of why authors and publishers need to pay attention to detail, especially on the front cover! I’d say leaving the watermark on the cover image is a pretty big detail.

Having the watermark still on the cover image means that either A) They didn’t pay for the image, or B) They paid for the image but didn’t swap out the sample image for the paid one – the image without the watermark. Either way, it’s still a book cover fail!

This link was sent to me via the Photoshop Disasters website. Or, you can have a good laugh and check it out for yourself on Amazon.

I wonder how long it will take Amazon to realize this blunder and get a cover image without the watermark. Hopefully soon, as I can’t see this little oversight helping sales of an already-obscure book.
