[quote=""EC2""]Prefer the lighter one because of the use of light and the colours. The dark is too dark. But I don't like either cover. That pointing finger looks masculine at best and alien at worst![/quote]
Oh, too funny! After I read that, all I could see was "ET phone home!"
I prefer the dark cover to the light, but mostly because it makes the two planes stand out. The biplane is what clues me in to the time and place. Of course, on the lighter cover, they have the little blurb which does the same thing, so it's really a question of which is more effective for a given buyer-- show or tell.
I would have done both, and made the biplanes bigger, if they were a presence in the story.
