The Red Fox Pic for the Cover is a Perfect Choice. I particularly like the type display shown on Row 2 (horizontal) Pic 3. Can’t wait for my signed copy.

I love your choice for the cover, Kevin. It’s certainly a perfect symbol of “wild” and an extremely beautiful animal.

When you were staying here at the Pennsbury Inn Bed and Breakfast recently and enthusiastically talking to the other guests about you newest project, it was quite apparent that you were excited about the pictures you were getting.I know that your enthusiasm will come across in the book and it will be another winner.

Way to go, Kevin,

Hi,

Never posted here before, but it is the first site I go to each day. Thank you! Have four of your books and looking forward to this one.

I like the cover in the center. In the other ones the font size seems a little big compared to the slender fox. But I also like the one on the middle row, left column. It seems to have the right proportion of the two words and the fox.

I love this picture for the cover!

Middle left hand side looks best to me.

I agree with Jeff about the length of the word WILD in the title. I don’t agree about some of the other choices he likes…..don’t care for any kind of “script-like” font for the word WILD (looks too UNwild to have if you use fancy font like that). So….I like the front-runner if the word WILD was stretched out a bit to be even with the length of the word Delaware. After all, I think the whole book is about the WILD(life) that can be found in Delaware, so I think the word WILD must not take a back-seat in any way, shape, or form to the word Delaware!

Just another .02 for you. (You might end up sorry you asked!!! LOL)

Hey Jeff,

Well, your .02 is much appreciated! Let’s see what some others say…

Thanks, Kevin

Hi Kevin–

The cover is looking cool!

Since you asked for feedback…here’s a thought or two:

–With the frontrunner, did you try kerning the “wild” so that it is more nearly equal length with the “Delaware?” I’m finding it slightly odd that the top of the title is narrower than the bottom. Almost makes it look like the fox is wearing a top hat. Or maybe a bowler.

–In the grid, I like all three in the far left column, with perhaps a slight edge going to the top left design.

–I also like the frontrunner a lot and the center right looks interesting as well. I’m less enthused about the other four.

Just my .02–very curious to see what others think!

Jeff
