The book is titled 'Nice? No. Great Britain'. with the subtitle 'Rediscovering the Values That Changed History'. The title should dominate the cover in bold, confident lettering — large enough to catch the eye from a distance or as a thumbnail. It should feel provocative and unmissable. The subtitle should sit just beneath or alongside it, smaller and lighter, but still strong and clear, acting as the clarifier that tells the reader what the book is really about.
The overall colour palette should convey dignity, heritage, and confidence without slipping into cliché. Deep navy blue provides authority, burgundy or rich red adds gravitas, and touches of white or gold can be used for clarity and emphasis. Avoid pastel tones or fashionable colour schemes: the book must feel timeless and proud, not trendy or apologetic.
Typography is central to the message.
Imagery, if used at all, should be bold and simple, not cluttered. One stylised element is enough: perhaps a muted Union Jack worked into the background. The aim is to hint at Britain’s identity without turning the cover into a tourist postcard. Subtle textures — parchment, oak grain, or stone — can evoke longevity and continuity.
Above all, the cover should radiate confidence, dignity, and clarity. It should look equally at home in a Waterstones display and as a serious title on a professor’s bookshelf, while also feeling approachable to a general reader. In short, the design must signal that this is a book about Britain’s true greatness: bold, serious, wry, and utterly relevant.
The author's name is Gavin P. Fraser.
The blurb on the back cover (still to be finalised) is currently: 'Britain once lit the torch of liberty, fairness, and civilisation. Magna Carta, Parliament, common law, the abolition of slavery, suffrage, universal education — no other nation gave so much to humanity across so many centuries. Yet today, Britain seems to have lost its voice. Ask what British values are and you’ll get a shrug, a mumble about “tolerance,” or the insult that we are simply “nice.” This book says otherwise. Here, nine distinct British values are named, defined, and defended — values hammered out in centuries of muddle, argument, reform, and grit. They explain how Britain became the trailblazer of liberty, how it corrected its mistakes when others doubled down on theirs, and why these values shaped not only Britain but also the modern world.'
