CAN I GET YOUR OPINION?
Added 2023-02-02 21:43:27 +0000 UTCI've got a new novel coming out next month. It's a post-apocalyptic steampunk western, set in the world of Abney Park's Airship Pirates.
I've done two different treatments for the cover/posters. On is sort of "vintage western novel" styled, and the other is "modern movie thrilled" styled.
So here's where I need your opinion:
1. Which do you think is more likely to make you want to read this?
2. How often do you read books? (audio books count)

Vintage western here.

2023-03-22 02:25:31 +0000 UTCI'm going with the Vintage Western. Splice in Ranch Hand Robbie and some of the songs from Wasteland and you have a album mix as well. I read a bunch and better get started on your work.

2023-02-10 01:03:49 +0000 UTCI like the first one. The second is too movie poster-esque for me.

2023-02-08 18:10:49 +0000 UTCBoth look amazing,i like the old fashioned western one best but theres not much between them. Im not much of a book reader due to really poor eyesight,therefore i listen to a lot of audio books,i like the ones where the author reads them,you get a real feel of the emotions. Are audio books something that Abney Park would consider releasing ?

2023-02-05 12:52:26 +0000 UTCVintage western. The other one looks like if Denzel Washington was the tin man, too Spooky. I read e-books all the time, usually about 1 a week

2023-02-04 14:57:33 +0000 UTCThe genre is right and believe it or not since you wrote it I'm curious. I don't read books often probably got a stack of 10-15 books to ready. Lately been a fan of audiobooks.

2023-02-04 02:23:16 +0000 UTCI like the western one better. I read about a book a week along with a magazine a week, split between history, historical fiction, and sci fi.
David Newport
2023-02-03 23:17:09 +0000 UTCI choose the vintage one. I read a lot, including audiobooks, but mostly non-fiction. Memoirs and diaries, history books, scientific studies and reports. Somehow it turns out that I read fiction books only on exceptional occasions.
Pavel Kumeysha
2023-02-03 20:17:41 +0000 UTCI'm more drawn to the vintage western style. I read a lot! Usually I prefer to read a physical book, and i try to borrow from the public library to avoid running out of space to live in my house. I will read the occasional ebook, though, if that's the easiest way to get a book.

2023-02-03 14:27:16 +0000 UTCI prefer the first; vintage style. I read (or listen) to various fiction almost every day. I only hoard the books in my head. No space in the house.
Deet Wagner
2023-02-03 14:05:20 +0000 UTCPrefer the old-style Western. I work part time at the local library; I read lots of books. Many many many books. I am a book hoarder.

2023-02-03 13:09:54 +0000 UTCIf you want to show the Western theme of the novel, go with #1. I try to read or listen to (audio) novels more, but time concerns, podcasts, magazines, RPGs and other stuff are my nemesis.
Ralf Sandfuchs
2023-02-03 09:13:39 +0000 UTCI like the Airship-In-The-Background theme better. I'm backed up 6 books now but I'll still buy what's released.
Michael Murphy
2023-02-03 05:55:34 +0000 UTCI have to admit I like the first one the best.
Ed Mattison
2023-02-03 04:11:41 +0000 UTCAbsolutely the western looking one. I don't read as often as I'd like as I'm a slow reader
Dave Miller
2023-02-03 04:10:52 +0000 UTCBig reader here, it swings between a book a day to a book a month depending on how busy my seasonal job is :) I would pick up and consider the western cover with the full body and background, the half-face I'd probably pass by except I know Abney Park XD Funny tho, I was just moaning a bit lately over how cover fads have been trending towards just random shapes and colours.
Jennifer Kohler
2023-02-03 03:06:00 +0000 UTCI like the western style cover best. I currently listen to audiobooks probably 6+ hours a day. Walking dog, in the car, household chores etc. I only read actual text books occasionally now.
Angela Deane
2023-02-03 02:10:56 +0000 UTCLove the full body shot with the airship in the background. Will definitely pick it up 8]
eric hughes
2023-02-03 01:52:13 +0000 UTCI like the vintage one. And I read books every dang day
Julian Neal
2023-02-03 01:39:35 +0000 UTCI also like the vintage western novel one best, the other one seems ... flat to me? I'm already curious about the first one. And I read a lot. Frustrated with myself that the buyline of the book is FIFTH in the series!? I am behind!
CARRIE DAVIS
2023-02-03 01:37:52 +0000 UTCI like the first one the best β reminiscent of the old west w. steampunk overtones
Jim Folsom
2023-02-03 01:06:12 +0000 UTCI think the second one has more of an air of mystery.
Jacob Skalberg
2023-02-03 00:42:13 +0000 UTCI like the poster version best. I read pretty much every day and typically read a book every two days to a week.
David Lee Summers
2023-02-03 00:41:17 +0000 UTCThe first cover made want to read it right now. I listen to audiobooks pretty much every day as I drive home or running errands on the weekend. I also read for about 2-4 hours a week
Philip Stevens
2023-02-02 23:15:07 +0000 UTCIβm liking the second one best, darker and more broody, seems to fit better. But, Iβve been wrong before π€·πΌββοΈπ€£
Andy W Marsden
2023-02-02 22:40:15 +0000 UTCI like the vintage look. Reminds me of the old Heinlein and Asimov books. I don't read as much as I used to, but listen to audiobooks all the time.
