that just seems like basic boring design, not a rip. Different fonts, different photo styles…

not a rip. some authors are so uncreative they want their bookcover to look just like someone else’s. i design for a publishing company for a while and came across that a lot.

I love it. A proper hattrick.
Designers, pop stars and their mums are opinionated and boring bastards.
I’m more suprised that anyone would want to read a book about how Pete Doherty’s mum thinks he should come home and have a bath and stop smoking crack. Shock!

Seems pretty typical. However if I were to write a book and had no idea how to make a cover I would scan other books for ideas first. Seems like *someone* has done that here…
Wouldn’t say direct copy, but I definitely think they saw that book before they made their own cover.
What irks me more though is the issue of relatives riding off of other’s successes. Particularly considering that I thought Eminem (or whatever hs is these days) apparently doesn’t like his mother, how convenient that she is publishing a book to “set the record straight”.
I really do despise when relatives publish books about their famous family member though…
They really do though. lol
That’s not really a steal is it? It’s just uninspired. Slow news day? Of what possed you to post this?
no rip!
