Book Review Preview Graphic

Hello all again, i am desinging a heading for my blog on Jane Goodall's newest book due out tuesday. I run an animal book reviewing blog and want to use this image on the homepage to try get them to read the book review. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, especially on the font and alignment of the books and photos in the background of the book. Thanks again for any suggestions!

Like the idea, but the execution is a little off. I could live with 3 photos on each side of the book so it's not so crowded. But if you want to use four - rearranging them would help imo (for instance, bottom right her head is covered by an inconsequential part of the 3rd photo down. Better to reverse that - 4 on top of 3).

Beyond that - why not colored text on top of the b/w photo for legibility sake? As one of my college professors always said - "When you have color... use it."

Yes, I agree. There are too many pictures. There are actually three photos that I see that give the same message in different positions (the woman kissing the chimp).

whos needs an "e". Agree with the too image-heavy comment on left...2 or 3 images only. No need to bring all the cookies out to the table. Save some for further into the site.
