Awww, thanks!
I’m glad you found some good books for this one :)

That London one looks really interesting... shall look out for it!

I have an odd question. Are we going by the goodreads top shelves or the actual definition? I ask because most memoirs have been shelved as biographies. They technically aren't- they are autobios. Please let me know! :)

[Nicole]

does this work for buildings on the cover?



I know we have a ton of tents on this but I see some more solid structures in the background?

Yeah, in an ideal world it wouldn't've included autobios, but for moderators' sanity, we just go by the GR MPG.

If there's MPG of Biography, then it's fine to use, regardless of any other slightly contradictory MPGs (such as Memoir or Autobiog...)

Feel free, of course, not to pick a memoir!

this is another one that isn't really in the spirit of my intention (being a reference to the architectural links with the exhibitions, and thinking of more permament, ogle-worthy buildings), but the prefab huts are man-made constructions with - on one at least - doors so you can get into them and use as a building (rather than it being an odd monument/statue/artwork).

So, you can use it.

[Nicole]

I’m sorry it’s not in the spirit. This topic just really interests me since I taught about it. I get what you intended. Thanks for approving

[Melissa]

Hiya, will this cover work for a book 2? just getting verification for posting ease :)

Totally a building! Looks an interesting read too - enjoy! :)

[Brooke]

Can you please verify for science and for building on the cover?

Both confirmed (though I’ve not done page count checks)

Thank you! They total over 600 pages. :-)

[Jessica]

Wanted to see if this would work for a building on the cover, as it's somewhat blurry!

[Cat]

That's a handsome civic building :)

[Cindie]

Does this work for Option 1, book 2? ?

[Cat]

It's not nonfiction, so no. Sorry.

I remembered that after I posted. Sorry

[Andrea]

would The Power Broker: Robert Moses and the Fall of New York cover work? It is a depiction of a building with his head on it
thx

I'm not 100% convinced that the column thing is a building, but there are buildings (just) discernible in the background, so one way or the other - approved!
