There are some common issues that come up when it comes to images on book covers ... sharing so you know!

My first 2 (of 20) Travel Italy Series books are on amazon. I started the load to Ingram but my cover looks wrong. Could I need a totally different cover size? More expense with my cover artist. Ugh

My last 2 published projects were sci-fi novels, and now I am back to NonFiction. My latest project is a biography of my father. Here is a snippet about the book. I would love any feedback on the cover. Thanks! Good Cop Dad Cop is the true story of Sergeant Jim Mildon, a beloved Twin Falls, Idaho police officer whose greatest legacy wasn't the badge he wore—it was the lives he touched. Part biography, part small-town history, and part collection of unforgettable stories, the book follows Jim from his mischievous childhood in the 1950s and 60s, through military service, ambulance work, and a 31-year career with the Twin Falls Police Department. Along the way are humorous pranks, dangerous police calls, championship coaching seasons, acts of quiet generosity, and countless moments that earned him the respect of an entire community. Told through the eyes of family, friends, fellow officers, and the people whose lives he changed, Good Cop Dad Cop is ultimately about character, service, fatherhood, and the lasting impact one ordinary man can have on an extraordinary number of people. It is a celebration of a life well lived and a reminder that the greatest measure of success is the difference we make in the lives of others.

I'm done with the edits! Now, I'm revisiting the book cover. Is the montage too busy? Any other suggestions on improving it?

For my book about treating digital addiction, I want it to be professional looking. Should I choose the 70lb paper? I don't want there to be any see-through that might happen with the 50lb. What has been your experience?
