(PRWEB) November 29, 2007 -- Karen Saunders, herself an award-winning book cover designer and owner of MacGraphics Services, has just posted another in a series of free design-it-yourself articles on her website. Half the battle in selling a book is getting someone to look at it. Saunders shows you how to accomplish this in her latest article, entitled "Design a Book Cover That Flies Off the Shelf." Saunders guides the self-published author through the basics of designing a book cover that not only gets picked up, but also gets sold.

Saunders has a simple four-step system to getting the most out of book covers, and never forgets the primary goal - to sell the book.
"Looks aren't everything," says Saunders. "Great graphics combined with proven sales techniques in just the right spots make a book hard to put down. Authors need to work just as hard on the cover as they did on what's inside."
Saunders shares her success secrets in a simple format. She takes the four basic parts of a book cover - front cover, back cover, spine and inside flaps - and shows how to use each one to its full advantage.
The techniques in this article can also be used with e-books, which are fast becoming an alternative to books bought in a traditional brick and mortar store.
