Some time ago, we discussed how much thought goes into the selection
of textbook covers (and whether the authors have any say).  I thought
some of you might be interested in seeing this email I received today
on that subject.  

They invited me to send it to my students, so that's the URL I've
pasted in below (wouldn't want to compromise their random sampling of
professors with a snowball sample!  Of course, their student sample
might now be off a little bit if any of you actually submit it...) 
Curiously, though, the only difference I noticed between the faculty
and the student surveys was the URL.

Subject:                Your opinion about book covers


Dear Professor Bartel:

We're preparing a new Introductory Psychology textbook, and I 
wondered if you could help us choose a cover design.   If you have a
minute or two, can you please click on the link below, and give us
your feedback on the four cover options? In return for your efforts,
we will email you a $5.00 Amazon.com gift certificate.
