'Marbleized' Tops Inspirational Book Cover Charts Yet Again

Read any good inspirational books lately? If so, chances are the book you were holding had a marbleized cover, as 'marbleized', the old industry workhorse, overwhelmingly beat out all other styles to become the most popular inspirational book cover of 2005.

The closest runner-up, 'leopard bloodily devouring wayward hyena', had only three titles to its credit, compared with marbleized's seven hundred and thirty-two, and those were due only to the surprising popularity of Wayne Simmons' breakout series "Why Bad Things Happen to Good Hyenas", which hovered near the bottom of The New York Times' bestseller list for eleven weeks over the summer.
