Is The "Middle Finger" Allowed On A Front Book Cover, Or Is The Finger Too Obscene?
Have you seen a book with the middle finger on the front cover or is that just too obscene for a cover? I've never see a book with the middle finger on the cover. I remember when the band Nirvana came out beside their album Nevermind and Kurt Cobain gave the middle finger on the back of the album. But "that" was an album. What around books?
Thanks in advance!
Answers:
If you were an author who insisted on flipping the bird on the book jacket, you can probably find it published somewhere but you'll probably also have problems with distribution as some of the retailers won't display books with swearing or obscene gesture on the cover. Major book publishers tend to be conservative when it comes to covers and shy away from controversial imagery.
I work for a media company who releases a few books a year and we get the oddest requests for cover revisions from our publishers. They're intensely sensitive to how books "read" on the shelves.
