About the Author
Ron Paul, an eleven-term congressman from Texas, is the leading advocate of freedom in our nation's capital. He has devoted his political career to the defense of individual liberty, sound money, and a non-interventionist foreign policy. Judge Andrew Napolitano calls him "the Thomas Jefferson of our day."

After serving as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force in the 1960s, Dr. Paul moved to Texas to begin a civilian medical practice, delivering over four thousand babies in his career as an obstetrician. He served in Congress from 1976 to 1984, and again from 1996 to the present. He and Carol Paul, his wife of fifty-one years, have five children, eighteen grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

Ron Paul, the New York Post once wrote, is a politician who "cannot be bought by special interests."

"There are few people in public life who, through thick and thin, rain or shine, stick to their principles," added a congressional colleague. "Ron Paul is one of those few."

I'll buy it for sure, but that's got to be his worst book cover ever.

nah, it's not ok

Not as good as Revolution cover though

[KCIndy]

I'll be sure to pre-order it to support Dr. Paul.....

But you're right. With the vast oceans of talent out there, one would think our favorite congressman would be able to come up with some sharper, more attention-getting book covers.

I mean, there must be thousands of talented artist/designers out here in RonPaulForums.com, CampaignForLiberty.com etc etc.

[dannno]

I think most people sheople would make a double-take at the cover.. I think it's pretty good.

Yeah, that book cover is awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reminds of that Disgustingly awful N.H. commercial the campaign ran during the primary.

This is the same thing, only in book-cover form.

[ChaosControl]

I don't see what is bad about the cover...

[tmg19103]

Yup, get a new cover before release.

[0zzy]

I like the book cover, I don't see anything wrong with it. :X
Maybe I'm just a weirdo?

[JoshLowry]

Yea, I think it's alright... *shrug*

[libertygrl]

Funny to hear these negative comments about the book cover. Sounds similar to some voters' attitudes I heard about Ron Paul during the Presidential primaries: "but he doesn't look Presidential... now that Mitt Romney.. HE looks Presidential!"

Remember.. you can't judge a book by its cover! ;0

The book cover looks unprofessional. It looks cheap and thrown together. If we want to be taken seriously then things like this need to be more professional looking.

[Eric21ND]

Love the Title...

Hate the cover art...looks ameteurish

[Mandrik]

I actually like the book cover. I saw that and thought, "Oh man, there's something that would stand out in a bookstore." /shrug

I think the cover is tasteful. I get sick of seeing these flashy covers that look sort of infomercial-y on books that are clearly intended to be read once and then discarded or forgotten about. Go back and look at book covers that looked "cool" 10 years ago. They really suck. This "End the Fed" cover art isn't exactly a Saul Bass creation... but it's perfectly acceptable, and it won't look dated in ten years.

+1 looks like it was made entirely on MS paint. I think its a damn shame how they have neglected the book cover - it should be as worthy as the pages contained within it. I had the same gripe about the book cover on The Creature From Jekyll Island, I sincerely believe it is not as accepted as it should be just because of the cover design.

But is it possible that the cover we're seeing is only tentative?

I'm really excited. There's going to be a lot of people not yet in the movement who will get to hear the case against the Fed laid out clearly to them for the first time.

That point is still true. If Ron Paul had Mitt Romneys looks, he would have won.

Yeah, it's not too late to change it

I'm going to point out that authors generally have no say over what their cover looks like, so anyone who thinks the cover makes Ron Paul or the C4L look "amateurish" is pointing the finger at the wrong party.

I actually refused to read a book I was assigned in middle school because I couldn't stand to have to look at the cover when I closed the book, and I blamed the author for it. Later, I met the author and, unprompted, she proceeded to bring up the exact book and she just savaged the cover. She pointed out every single thing that I hated about it. Then I felt bad because she was as disappointed as much as I was, and here I had blamed her. In all fairness, though, I don't think she was that great of a writer anyway. She wrote young adult fantasy... barf.

The moral of the story is: Don't blame Ron Paul if you don't like the cover art!
(Don't worry, I notice that people are linking to the publisher...)

EDIT: I found the author's website and there's a page on the book I refused to read. They've apparently redone the cover art, but they have both images on the website if you want to have a look-see. The sheer horror of the cover unfortunately can't be conveyed in such a reduced size, however. http://www.vivianvandevelde.com/bookDetail.cfm?BookId=25

[reduen]

Just ordered mine and don't care what the cover looks like.. lol

[AutoDas]

What's the font used for the cover? That's the only thing I like about it. It should be white font on a black background and maybe a better composition of the Fed in the background.

Should be #1 by now...

This Cover, is seriously going to hurt sales. And Yes Ron Paul has EVERY say so about the cover. MORON

ya. you're cool.

[amonasro]

Seriously, stop whining about the book cover. It catches the eye and will stand out in a bookstore. Big gold letters, a tiny crumbling building? It's fine. Very symbolic actually. If any of you could have done better, start a thread and get crackin'.

[Mandrik]

I think the lettering, both color & design, is supposed to look like the lettering on a dollar bill. Maybe I'm just seeing things, but that's what it makes me think of.
