  SPEAKER_00: You've probably heard the saying, don't judge a book by its cover.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: But in the book world, it's absolutely not true.

  SPEAKER_00: People do judge the quality of the book by its cover, and in fact, the cover design is the first thing people notice about a book.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: That's why my graphic designer of choice is Christy Griffith, owner of Thumbprint Creative.
