Yup, you should take the second one!

The bottom one shows to much of the strip, and could actually ruin it for new readers… the top one doesn’t seem balanced.
The middle one is the best, but I think if the panel one the right where sketcher it would look better.

Adding my voices to the masses, first is totally best!
(and yeah, the third looks literally sketchy which is not always a good thing)

I like Gord’s also; its colors and bars do a better job at drawing the viewer’s attention to the important parts without getting lost in the circuitry.

I’m not a fan of the ones using sketches on the cover (at least in conjunction with the finished product). It looks more like a how-to-draw book that way.

I’d go for the first (or Gord’s splendid edit). The third is dreadful - looks messy and seems a bit pretentious.

You really need to use an unrubbish font, though.

I rather like Gord’s edit the best. But before I saw that, my mind was set on the middle one.

First - Not enough in it.

Second - enough stuff, still simple, not too terribly cluttered

Third - Eh, if you want to go with a theme from one of your strips for the cover, perhaps a different one. Not that that wasn’t a good one, I just don’t know how many people will want to randomly buy a book with a violinist and robots on the cover. It seems ‘off’ to me.

I like Gord’s recolouring and rearranging. (:

The first one looks more like an electronics book.
The second one is ok but the white rectangles are a little too big.
Gord’s is nice , black looks cool and makes the cartoon robot stand out.
The third one I like the best , I think it will catch the eye of more people who like comics.

Just my two cents.

Third. The other two look too much like badly-written Computer Science textbooks… except for the cute robot. Tee hee.
