Again, with the use of lines, this book cover just becomes a draw to the eye without having flashy colors or glossiness. The text is itself simple and easy to read, which is great for people who hate seeing an eyesore on the front cover of books. The motion of the lines give waves and motion, but the center is always the ship. There are some nice, small details with the large cruise liner, the man drowning, and the bird at the bottom. How good a book cover is designed is based simply on whether the cover reflects the material on the inside. This book is about the town of Marstal, Denmark and how many of the people from there have sailed around the world. This book is supposed to be in the same vein as many of Herman Melville's and John Steinbeck's work. So I would say this is a very good cover.
