Made something a few months ago and put it on Amazon. Have different variations of covers and two sizes (50 and 100 pages, for 25 and 50 observation nights). Looking for options on the concept, contents (you can view the interior pages for their layout on the Amazon page).

Wondering if it's too flashy and a simple cover might work better, or if it's just because it's Amazon and there's too much competition. Or of course if it's just not what's being looked for.

I don't yet, but I plan on getting a telescope when I can.

This looks awesome. I personally would go for a simple cover. But that's just me.

Along with this, flashy but with an option of favorite popular features in space, like moon, Andromeda, pillars of God or whatever they're called. Just a variety but I'm sure they would get expensive potentially. It looks really neat though.

Thanks for the feedback. I wish Amazon made it easier to provide different selections. I basically have to resubmit the whole thing every time. But I did create a "basic" cover for the small/cheap one.

Nice. Yeah I know you can do like the "color" or 3"pack" item modifiers on items, but idk how that would work for books. I've never sold anything on Amazon so I'd be lost there. Good luck with it though I think it's a great idea and we'll executed.
