Never Judge a book by its cover.........

I'm definitely not the biggest reader but occassionally I do read a few books. I am quite a fussy reader and I ashamedly would put a book down if I thought the font was too big or too small and so naturally I also choose my books by their cover. When buying this book I got drawn to the title, after picking it up I saw down the edge of the pages good is dead. When reading the blurb I learnt it was a novel about a graphic design student. The story itself was quite good but it is the layout that interested me. The edge of the pages read "good is" and then the book rotated reads "dead" on the other side although it does take some working out. The text on the page is also surrounded by quite alot of negative space which I thought was quite different for a novel. Annoyingly I used my book for a book exchange and now I can't find any pictures of the edge of the pages!



Here is the only picture I could manage of the top section of the negative space from the amazon looking inside facility.For a better look heres the link: ttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/reader/0743231023/ref=sib_dp_pt/203-5043444-5796708#reader-page
