Thinking about the cover of this book

Don't Sing at the Table: Life Lessons from My Grandmothers
~ by Adriana Trigiani, 2010, memoir, xiii + 204 pages

Bestselling author Adriana Trigiani shares a treasure trove of insight and guidance from her two grandmothers:  time-tested, common sense advice on the most important aspects of a woman’s life, from childhood to the golden years.  Seamlessly blending anecdote with life lesson, Don’t Sing at the Table tells the two vibrant women’s real-life stories — how they fell in love, nurtured their marriages, balanced raising children with being savvy businesswomen, and reinvented themselves with each new decade.

By the way, when I picked up this book, I missed the actual title and thought it was Life Lessons from My Grandmothers, which is only the subtitle.  Look at that cover; what do you notice first?  The author's name and the subtitle are in bold red capital letters, but the actual title is lost in small white lower case print almost hidden in the middle of shiny gold.
