Maybe it's just me but when I glance at the cover it looks like the book is about Windows 7 Internals only. I'm wondering how many others would think the same when seeing it on a bookshelf. It looks like the same layout was used for the 6th edition, I want to suggest the use of a different layout for the next editions.
- JdeBP 9y agoIt does look as if the title is Windows 7 Internals. Note that it was the preceding edition that covered Windows 7 (Windows NT 6.1). This edition has been updated to cover Windows NT 10.
- annnnd 9y agoNot the way I read it - it is "Windows Internals - 7 (seventh edition)". It is not even ambiguous IMHO because "7" is not vertically aligned with "Windows". But at a glance, yeah, someone could misunderstand it...
- heinrich5991 9y agoYou can't say it's not ambigous if you're replying to two persons that found it confusing. :) I also read Windows 7 Internals, for one.
- mvdwoord 9y agoI guess if you only look at books at a glance, you are not the target market for this one anyway.. ;)
- gmiller123456 9y agoThis problem gets a lot worse when all you see is a thumbnail of the cover. At least the image on his blog post is large enough that you can figure out what it means if you take a second. But in search results, the text "Seventh Edition" is nearly invisible.
