The book cover's vintage map suggests a tale of African adventure and exploration, evoking a sense of mystery and journey, fittingly matched with the title "Quest".

The book's cover design resonates with me, as it effectively incorporates a map of Africa, which cleverly ties in with the narrative's themes and setting, even if the design itself is somewhat straightforward and lacking in distinctiveness.

The cover art features a map, implying a story of journey and discovery, possibly set in Africa given the cartographic emphasis. The vintage map design adds a layer of nostalgia and intrigue, perfectly aligning with the title "Quest" to evoke a sense of thrilling exploration.

The book's cover didn't appeal to me. The map on it reminded me of my old history textbooks from school, which wasn't very enticing. I would have preferred something with a bit more color and vibrancy to catch my interest.

The cover photo of the book is amazing. It is nit that extraordinary but it is a good literary piece and I found nothing wrong about it. It served its purpose.

The cover was perfect and went well with the storyline. It's the cover that made me want to read this book. The map was an excellent touch.

The book cover wasn't something i took into consideration. I think it is okay. I love the dull nature and how simple it is.

I don't think there would be a more suitable cover than the one used by the author, it exactly depicts what the book is all about. It is really a captivating one.

An exploration or travel-themed story, most likely set in Africa given the book's geographic focus, is hinted to by the map featured on the cover. Complementing the title "Quest" well, the use of a vintage-style map as the backdrop heightens the feeling of mystery and adventure.

Honestly, the book cover wasn't especially appealing, since it was just a map of Africa. However, I'm glad I didn't judge this book by its cover because the storyline more than made up for its rather unappealing cover. This was made more especially so when I saw that it was set in Lagos, Nigeria.

Its a subtle description of a map. I liked it because it wasn't so colourful and instead exuded an inviting nature. The African designs on it are truly ingenious.
