1) What do you like and dislike about these genres of books? 2) What do you think is lacking from them in terms of content, what could be done better?
This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:
- I prefer option A because they are more practical and tangible. You actually learn a real, measurable and aplicable skill. While option B are almost cult-like at times and very intangible.
- I voted for choice B because today when you get a good job its great to know how to deal with problematic issues at work without feeling like you just want to quit and move on. You also need to know how to act at work and know that when you are working it is work, not play. So, you really need to know how to behave and you should value the place where you make your living.
- Practical skills are more needed and wanted.
- I think choice A could be done better given by the type of language that was used.
- I like these genres because they encompass more qualities and self-improvement habits that would greatly benefit a person. I would maybe add a genre that includes balancing work and life.

Please choose your preferred book title.
This is a 2 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction), Income range ($101k+), Employment status (Full Time), and Age range (45 54, 35 44, 25 34). A sample of responses:
- B sounds more like a how to book for professionals. A seems too much like a text book.
- "Corporate Sales" is more specific than "Sales" so the book title is more descriptive of what the contents actually are.
- I chose option A for the descriptive step-by-step title. While Option B rolls off the the tongue better and is catchy. Option A lays out an outline that I can execute and appears as a more professional guide book to the serious MBA.
- I selected 'Option A' largely because there are so many "How To" books that the title in Option B is almost instantly forgettable. I did like the emphasis on Strategy, Psychology and Execution since that give a good, high-level understanding on what the contents of the book are
- I like how A gives some concrete phases of the sales process whereas B seems really generic.
-
Which cover do you prefer for a book about Spanish Phrase Book?
This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:
- Choice C includes the national colors of Spain and has and easily readable font which is visually appealing and inviting, compared to others which look like more difficult books for learning the language.
- I like that B promises a lot more content with 1000 phrases, that seems quite a bit bigger than C. I prefer the numbers rather than none at all I’m A though
- C is most eye=catching and easy to read, a just easy to read, b is neither
- I actually like the "with MP3" option in option A, however the image looks kind of not fitting. I also like the "over ### common phrases" in option B and C, so it would be nice to have this all combined in the book cover.
- I ranked them by how easy it would appear to learn the language.
-

This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:
- I like option C the best because I think the street view looking at the outdoor seating of the cafe is perfect for this book because I think that would be a situation where someone could benefit from using the phrases in the book.
- The use of the word "Easy" in Option B makes it seem more accessible and appealing. Option A also looks like a helpful book. Option C looks a bit more complicated.
- I liked Option A the best because it includes audio, which would be useful for learning basic French. I preferred Option B over Option C because it's a bit more descriptive of what the book actually includes and covers.
- I prefer the cover of C the most because it is so simple and doesn't have a lot of words going on. In a few words we know what the book is about and we have some nice cover art to enjoy.

Which cover do you prefer for an Italian Phrase Book?
This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:
- B I really like how it has more phrases than option A. I love the cover and illustrations. I think it is nice that it says common Italian phrases. A I like how it says travel with confidence. C I think it should add a positive message like the rest of them.
- I like the map of Italy on the cover because it is very clear what the book is about and it also shows a bunch of the major tourist sites/areas.
- I ranked in the order that I would be likely to take the book off the shelf and begin studying it.
- I chose C first because I like seeing a photo of the country - it feels more real and would be more motivating to learn compared to the drawings / cartoons on the other two books. They are all fine - I just like C best.
- I find option A the most appealing. The words "plus audio" immediately catches my eye and is a plus. The cover is appealing and gives me confidence that I could learn the phrases that would help me out traveling in Italy.

I'm determining a title for a book on increasing self-awareness and removing self-sabotaging behaviors. Which book would you rather read?
This is a 6 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:
- Option E starts with the title of Negative Psychology which draws you in because usually psychology is positive. It also tell you how to generate positive emotions. Option B uses the same title and includes how to change pain. Option F also uses negative psychology in the title and includes ancient which makes it sound like it been around for a while. Option C starts off with the word positive which I think it over used. Option A says how to hunt demons which I think will confuse people. Option D is very hard to say and people will just ignore it.
- I like the titles that embody the transformation element of the book. option B and "lean into" seems a bit overused. The "ancient" wording is intriguing and implies a sense of wisdom.
- The first 3 I chose are shorter and more succinct. I think maybe the "demon" thing throws it off because it seems like literal demons, but I still think it is the most catchy title there is.
- A mashup of A and F is an excellent title. I like that both are intriguing, and truly powerful. Some of the other options are far too wordy. C made me roll my eyes, as given the theme of the book, mentioning rocket fuel and such is... a lot.
- I like this title because it is simple and to the point. I think it will grab most readers attention.
-
Which book title is more likely to catch your interest?
This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Preferred book format (E Books) and Literary preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:
- B is much more descriptive and i think that will make people have a better understanding of the greater parts of the whole in this book.
- B gives more information about the book. It is a better description of the book
- the words used in describing the title makes more sense.
- The other stuff in the other title doesn't interest me
- A because the title is shorter
-
Which book title do you think works best?
This is a 4 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:
- C is short and to the point, while still being engaging.
- Made my choices based on which book title works the best
- C is best - real life sounds better than true. A D and B follows in order of preference for the title.
- I think both D and B are the better options. I think specifically D is my favorite because it’s short and to the point of what this is about and what you will learn. I think A is a bit too long and drifts too much as you read it. I also think C doesn’t give you as much to go by compared to D and even B for that matter.
- Options a, d and b let the reader know the story is about a doctor's true life story. Therefore, option C is listed last. Option A is the easiest to understand. While options d and b are understandable, option a sounds a lot more interesting.

Which title would make you buy this memoir? The book is a collection of stories and personal heroes that shaped a shy Chassidic boy raised in the San Francisco Bay Area.
This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:
- I think the first choice sounds more descriptive and interesting. It is clear to me what the story is about.
- I THINK THE MEANINGFUL LIFE ANGLE IN B IS MORE APPEALING, ALSO, I DONT KNOW WHAT CHASSIDIC MEANS
- The other title is too vague and doesn't really have a draw to it
- Seeing the good in everyone... this is a very nice thing to teach. There is good in almost everybody we meet.
- I thought A sounded more engaging and I liked that it seemed to convey more variety.
-
Which cover do you like the best and why?
This is a 4 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Literary preference (Non Fiction). A sample of responses:
- i like the colors and contrast
- Option D as it is a calmer less aggressive color compared to option A(red). So if it is a self help style book about preventing PTSD, blue would be a better color. Option B(green) is a close second but blue is definitely preferred. Option C is the grey and it made me feel colorblind to look at due to just the gray scale and black but not a bad one either. Option A is a bit aggressive and comes off as more of a horror/thriller color scheme I have seen before somewhere.
- A option a because first of all that color red is absolutely gorgeous it grabs my attention and makes the words of the cover stand out immediately I would pick that one out of all of them
- A is a winner here. I love the red and orange imagery here for "hot". Perfect. Barring that, what I like about B is the intense contrast, cool green and hot letters, same with D, the gray I don't love. Overall the cover art here is top notch though. Any of these options are worth it for you (except the gray - DO avoid that.
- I ranked the options based on how they made the title stand out. The blue was the best. The brighter (read/green) colors were a bit distracting.
