Love the back layout but i think you need to stay in the same tone of the front, too much bright IMO. If you want to keep it bright like this brightness the front. Also not fan of the color on Russel Crowe on the back make it more dark and less the brown color a bit  ;-)

For me I thought (without seeing full sizes and I think I still would have thought so) this was the best front, I loved it. The back looks great too, though I would personally prefer the back color was more similar to the front.

We have a great front and a great back...just need to get the the tone right.
I prefer the back tone to cover the whole cover...is that possible :-?

I love the combination of nautical maps and sheet music. :-)

Also cool to see you gave the author such a prominent space on the cover.
