Feedback Wanted Which of these two book covers would make you more likely to click on the book on Amazon?
I’m choosing between these two professionally designed covers for my forthcoming nonfiction book, The Book of Science: A Foundational Guide to a Science-Based, Non-Theistic Religion.
Please judge them as though you were scrolling through Amazon, ideally while viewing them at approximately thumbnail size. Which cover would make you more likely to stop and click to learn more about the book: Cover 1 or Cover 2? I’d also appreciate hearing what first impression each cover gives you and why you prefer one over the other.
For context, the book is intended to serve as the foundational text of The Fellowship of Science (TFOS), a new religion that is still in the early stages of being built. TFOS is non-theistic and does not ask people to worship a god or accept supernatural claims. Instead, it seeks to provide some of the tangible benefits and functions commonly associated with religion—including community, shared identity, evidence-informed rituals and practices, a moral framework informed by scientific knowledge, a scientific account of our origins, secular stories and parables, and guidance for living—while grounding its teachings in science rather than divine revelation.
Each cover was created by a different designer. I did not design either one, so please feel free to be completely honest.
