I snook into a bookshop in Limerick city and took a couple of shots of how books are laid out. To see what makes a good cover stand out.
There is no point asking the girls in the shop why the layout of the books is the way it is, because they get every shelf mapped out by the head office.
The book "Freedom" has good layout, because you can see the text from wherever you are standing in relation to it.
The book "Ghost" also caught my eye, because it's large title and contrast - yellow on black.
