This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary Preference (Fiction). A sample of responses:

• A sounds more intriguing.
• This excerpt makes me want to read the book more. I like the self reflection of the character Connor.
• I prefer B because it is not written in the second person. A is in the second person and that doesn't seem to fit a book summary.
• Both are just fine
• Choice B leaves you with an intriguing question and leaves you wondering what is going to happen next

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary Preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:

• Option B is much more visually appealing and relatable. The man in the image of Option A wouldn't fit in with most people's self view and would turn a number of people off on the book itself. Option B is more relatable and fits better with the topic and them of the book. Option B would get a wider audience of people interested and willing to pick the book up off the shelf and see what it has to offer.
• That guy is creepy
• I don't think a picture of a person should be on the front
• More obvious and detailed
• I picked B because I would most likely pick up a book that does not have a creepy looking man on the cover.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary Preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:

• The other title didn't make as much sense to me and it was confusing with the tag line in between
• I prefer this option because of the font and color scheme. I feel like it is easier to read in this format.
• I choose B because the book cover stands out and is eye catching.
• B is "too loud" and is hard to decipher what the book is about.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary Preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:

• I just like the way the cover looks better. I know they say not to judge a book by its cover but it is what i do most of the time.
• Both are quite corny but the B choice looks classic at least
• REALLY tough call. I like them both, but the punch-through-the-book-cover thingy has been done a few too many times in recent years.
• It is much more eye-catching and I think the type is the right size to be easy to read and understand.
• I think choice b's minimalist design and color scheme is more appealing. Never judge a book by its cover though, right?

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary Preference (Fiction). A sample of responses:

• Intro in A is just a collection of facts, not prose.
• Seems more straightforward and less like it's trying to oversell the premise
• simple and too the point
• I think this makes the journey and the story seem more epic. The other seems more like a political drama and not as big as an adventure.
• I really like A. I think by using in a land, it can make it anywhere. That is more appealing to the person, that would be reading the book.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary Preference (Fiction). A sample of responses:

• A seems like it makes more sense. B is more confusing
• My interest was kept more with Option B.
• This version makes me more curious about how the story will unfold with the present day NYC writer's story somehow engaging his friend in the 300 years ago plotline. Also, flameheaded woman? is her hair on fire or is it red? LOL I'm curious about her role and her involvement.
• I can imagine B in a story. A is just too over the top.
• I mainly liked the intro better, it explains and paces things in a easier to understand way for the reader.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary Preference (Fiction). A sample of responses:

• A seems more exciting and interesting to me even though it is longer.
• Less words are employed in getting theme and story concept across. B does mention England as their destination which A does not.
• I like choice A since it is more in depth and detailed bout what is happening in this book. The reading of choice A was much more compelling and captivating than choice B which seems to skim over a lot of what choice A spoke of.
• I like B because I feel like it says the same exact thing as A but without so many words. A feels like it has too many "filler" words in it just to bulk it up.
• Option B gives a more enticing description of the book. It adds a little mystery and intrigue, which would make me much more likely to pick up this book and read it.
