Textbook Covers

 

I think it’s weird when book covers have absolutely nothing to do with the subject. Like my Neurobiology textbook.

381 Book

What does surfing have to do with Neurobiology? All this textbook says is that the subject is so painful that they have to put something “cool” on the outside to try and attract readers.

But the brain is cool. They don’t have to go and use marketing to get us to want to read it. No one is going to read this textbook unless they have to. Make the cover relevant.

Like this one.

Neurobiology

Or even this one.

Neuroscience
