I really like the clean design. It was clear to me with the almost vintage, understated look that the title was leading to something deeper and was a catchy tool to get us there...

The second two send a message that confuses me on what the book is about. It is too unlike the topic.

The Green Goo one catches my eye first, but honestly I'm WAY more apt to pick up and look at the Clean one.
I like the clean design. Wasn't crazy about the font on the 2nd one and the yuck on the 3rd makes me want to wash my hands!

The crosshairs one has been used for many other projects. I wouldn't go with that. The colors will also blend in to other books. The first one reminds me of some of the copies of CS Lewis books I have. I would definately go with the goo one.

way too much guts for one roach on C... maybe they should redesign and put a shoe crushing the cockroach on option A. The font on B looks like the font from a nightmare before christmas, could be wrong, but that's what it reminds me of. clear choice - A.

At first I poo poo'd the third cover because it does look like a "Judy Blume" cover. But as I studied the other covers, there are dozens and dozens of others that have that "look". A book with the third cover on a shelf of non-fiction gets my vote.

I think you should go with a re-design and ask your publishers to make the book in shape of the cockroach body. That would stand out. Course it probably would cost you all your profits to pay for the die-cut.

Anything you have to read sideways....no!. I hate this in bookstores. The Crosshairs was amazing, and made me want to buy it. The last one was definitely out for me.
