• The red pill gives it more of a negative view perhaps leading the reader to think it is more painful.
• I like this one because of the bottle tipped over. I does not seem as cold and medicinal like the other one. It is more inviting.
• This cover shows the pills in greater detail and I like the aspect of the different colors of the medicine. The entire cover seems more realistic overall.
• Cover A is a lot better in my opinion.
• I think the image of the pill bottle looks better.

This is a 4 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Preferred book genres (Books Read: Mystery & Crime). A sample of responses:

• I like the image of a flightless bird. It is intriguing. It sparks my curiosity about what the main point of the story is
• I prefer short title with clear information. The title in C matches the criteria. The title in B is also short. However, it is not as clear as the one in C. I do not like the two titles in A and D. They do not meet the criteria I mentioned earlier.
• Lies agreed upon sounds like it could be a very interesting topic.
• choices based on personal level of poetic impact
• I like A because it sounds intriguing to me. I like D a lot too but it sounds odd starting with the word For. C and B are okay but they don't really get my attention.

This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Preferred book genres (Books Read: Mystery & Crime). A sample of responses:

• Telling me more about the plot makes me more interested and invested in the story.
• C seems a little too harsh as both of the descriptions seems to be interesting. As somebody who is intrigued by organized crime, A is definitely the top pick for which book I'd rather buy.
• As a first option, A is a narrative full of suspense and tension, which impacts the viewer, since the experience of such instability or imbalance causes emotions that make you want to read the book.
• I chose A because it tells what the story is about. B doesn't really give you any insight to the story line and C gives no information.
• the first one i ranked got my curiosity to read more i was into it i can see myself buying that book to read

• more descriptive and would seem more interesting
• A feels like someone starting to tell me a story that I want to read and finish to find out what else happens. B sounds like a laundry list of what the author hope to accomplish with the story.
• The organizational structure seems more complete and I like the breakdown of ideas with the bold-faced font. Overall, this is more compelling of a book description and really captures my imagination.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Political affiliation (Independent/Other, Democrat) and Preferred book genres (Books Read: Mystery & Crime). A sample of responses:

• I choose option B because it looks less radical and angry.
• I like the subtle red title of the episode, it doesn't feel over saturated, and it overall makes me interested in the story and plot of the book. I find the gray image makes it more interesting to me.
• The red and Black colors makes it more intense. Also like seeing the characters.
• The best design element of option b is the road and the seal is informative where it makes me think the book is a fan favorite
• I like B. The other choice is too bright and hurts my eyes.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Age range (65 74, 55 64, 45 54, 35 44), Preferred book genres (Books Read: Mystery & Crime), and Political affiliation (Democrat, Independent/Other). A sample of responses:

• I choose A first as the main title is much more quickly to the point and attention grabbing and not as "cluttered" as the B choice.
• Less of an eye sore, the other one is just ugly.
• The red cover turns me off for some reason.
• B because it reminds me more of a horror story and with the black and white cover and I want to find out what is on the other side of that road.
• I think the red is too bold. I also like that it has the extra badge for the Indies today. I am not sure what the pictures are supposed to represent, but I like the black and white a lot better. However, I may prefer the other picture because it seems to imply what the book is about better.

This is a 1 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Preferred book genres (Books Read: Mystery & Crime). A sample of responses:

• First off, that's a pretty cool title for a book - I wish I had thought of it. Regarding the blurb, I would say that it goes way too deep into the plot line and doesn't leave enough to the imagination. You need a more succinct teaser of the book content. It sounds like the bad guy is laying out four chapters of plot twists just as he breaks into some dude's apartment in the middle of the night. Less is more.
• I love the title of the book, it created emotion and intrigue. I like that the description shows there could be great action, that the book would be very well written, and a good of amount of conflict even with the main character himself internally. Reading it made me feel emotions and excitement like a trailer for a movie. I wouldn't change a thing about this.
• I like the title. It doesn't really give any indication at all what the book is about, and I think that's good-- as long as I know the genre and it's suspense or thriller, then it's good to see a title that isn't specific sometimes. But, the title is catchy, I could see it being a good movie title also. The plot itself sounds good. It's definitely one that's original and not been overdone (or done at all, that I know of?) so it's something that I'd be interested to read because it sounds different, intriguing and original.
• The title is appropriate and sufficiently eye-catching. The subject doesn't appeal to me personally, but would probably have a wide group of people it does interest. The blurb is written in an interesting manner, and nothing about it is offensive to anybody with a brain (who else reads, right?).
• The blurb makes the book's story sound exciting and thrilling. This feeling is also captured by the title of the book. I would be interested to read more in order to learn about this story.

This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Preferred book genres (Books Read: Mystery & Crime). A sample of responses:

• The lowest ranked is hard to read, it reads author's first name then the fist word of the title. Very bad, don't pick that one. I like the off set of my first choice best.
• In my opinion, most people read texts from left to right. It is weird to put two words of the same phrase into two lines using horizontal align. Thus, A is the worst among the three options. Regarding C and B, I like the way how C positions the texts. Two lines of texts are aligned using center position. It is very common and accepted by many people.
• Big bold letters will catch someones attention faster and no.2 is the same also and no.3 just might be a little confusing.
• The title being on top of the authors name instead of side by side is better.
• None of them are hard to read to me. I do prefer reading right to left, so chose C and B first, and C before B because the font is bigger. A isn't bad and could be appealing to some, but A flows better to me. The grey font at the bottom could be a bit brighter, but it works well as it is.
