Greenleaf Book Group has launched a new website called "Rate My Book Cover" where you get to judge potential book covers created by independent presses and self-publishers before they get to market—because, as the distributor's CEO, Clint Greenleaf, says in the press release, "the vast majority of books are simply not packaged well enough to compete with other forms of entertainment and packaged information." He adds that Greenleaf rejects more than 90 percent of the books submitted to it for distribution because they're so badly packaged the company knows it won't be able to do anything with them. The idea behind the new site is to provide those publishers with objective, if unscientific feedback about whether or not they should really take that cover design to the printers.

It's a fine enough idea, as far as it goes, but I want more: I want a Go Fug Yourself for book covers. In fact, given the limits of my knowledge, I wouldn't be surprised if that site already exists, and I just need somebody to tell me about it.
