Option 3: Just the title, not the author name, correct?

[Dlmrose, Moderator Emeritus]

Bea wrote: "Option 3: Just the title, not the author name, correct?"

Correct, the entire title. It's OK if the subtitle and/or the author's name is red, but they don't need to be red.

Got a few possibilites for option 3, if you could confirm the titles are red enough:



- would also work for option 1 I think, if the title isn't red enough.

Any of those would work. [book:The Adventure of English: 500 Ad to 2000 the Biography of a Language|73893] would also work for option 1

For option 3. ?. The whole cover is red so I see the white as being around the title as a highlighter to enable them to be read not as part of the letters themselves. The title is げんき

Edit: nm, I have received a different cover anyway :-)

Embedded or stand-alone both work for the genre.

Do you have in hand? It looks orange not red. But I would take another look if you have more information

The cover on the author's website look red- this might be image variation

[Pia]

Thanks! I also though the first book was red, and then it looked more "orangey". But it's good that there are 2 books I can use

No, half the title is pink

[Book Concierge]

Red enough for option 3?


And I think this would work for either Option 1 or Option 3

[Kai]

Will this work for option 3? It's a deeper red in person so thought I'd better check.

yes, it works

[Nicola]

Is this very dark blood red? I'm really not sure about the 'The' as it's very small. This is the version my local library says it has a copy of and I'm trying to look at this at night under lights and I'm squinting at my computer screen.

[Hina]

Hi,

Does this work for option 3 or ?

It looks like a gradient of black to red- and the "The" looks black.

It looks pink, not red. If you have a better image let me know

[Nicola]

Dlmrose would you accept this as a red title?
