Western Historicals

Don't you love the title font Pati Nagle (Mandala) came up with for these western romances? I like simple (witness the silhouettes instead of fancy costumes or naked backs) but that lettering really called to me.

I still have more backlist I need to have scanned, edited, and covers added, but I'm really running out of cover ideas.  Kim Price's HotDamn Stock photos have some great photos using historical costume (check my Denim and Lace) but it's impossible for one photo site to cover all eras and characters!  Which is why head chopping ensues, I guess.

What makes you buy an e-book? It's not the same as seeing a cool cover on the bookstore shelf. How do you even find the wretched things? I've been reading reviews and downloading so many books I figure my Nook will explode, but I haven't browsed bookstore shelves in years because I just don't relate to covers. But someone, somewhere must be digging these covers!
