All though this is an audio book cover and not an actual book, I think this is a perfect example of type being used with an image. I love how the main part of the title, "Shooter", is in the scope of a sniper rifle. It relates perfectly to what the story is about instead of a random image that could be misleading like some covers out there. Overall, I think it's just really cool and well put together.

After I found the audio book, I decided to look online to see if there was also a regular book. Below are the images I found to go with it:

I think both images are good book covers, but I like the first one better. I find the "big ball of sun" to wash out the colors in the image of the second one.

i would say the problematic thing with the audio book
cover is it looks a little dated...it seems they tried
to alleviate that in the book cover design and update
the look a little....
