Hi :) Errr, it's Scale today right? I think focus on that. Sounds like you are doing a great job there!! :D
I liked the look of the covers but the layers didn't show up on this bad install of Fedora that i did several years ago https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Development/TemplateForV4#Book_covers I guess K-j can take the ideas from there and modify his own files? My own thought was that the edges of the lettering inside the back curve look like they get too close to the edge so they miss out on some of the gravitas they would otherwise have. Perhaps putting the 4.0 under or even putting the 4.0 under the book's title instead of keeping it in that curve? However i think it really does look good as is and don't know what my changes would do in terms of wrecking something else. However i am not a designer and don't really know all the ins-and-outs and also don't know the branding guidelines/rules so my thoughts might well not be the same as anyone else's.
