Okay, folks..here are the finalists. None of them really grab me, so please pitch in and throw some thoughts out here. The title needs to be short, insightful and catchy. While I think "The Pond and Lake Construction Guide" will bring sales, it's a little too dry to suit me. I really like "Perfect Pond, Want One?" but it doesn't really drive the point home. "Liquefy your Land" is great, but incomplete. Maybe a combination. Let me know, I want to finish this tonight. Decision will be made by 10 pm c.s.t.
"Successful Pond Construction"
"Pond Construction 101"
"Building your dream pond step by step"
"Walking on Water: Engineering the perfect pond"

...this would get the "google" words in there, with a little more flair. Honestly, I like every one of the possibilities listed above. The content of the book will be the one truly important selling point. The title's just like a cherry on top.

sorry bob, cant help you....i still like mine  but am guessing it's too long, its a very subjective thing, and i agree with bruce and others that one should probably consider the internet search aspect to reach all possible sales goals. Trophy Ponds
GSF are people too!

I think the title needs to be short and catchy at the top of the cover, then the catch phrase with all the google words at the bottom of the cover page.
For example, I am looking at a book titled "Blue Ocean Strategy" at the top, with the catch phrase at the bottom, "How to create uncontested market space and make the competition irrelevant."
Catchy...
Here's another at hand, "The Weather Makers" at the top, but at the bottom it says, "How Man is changing the climate and what it means for life on Earth."
Catchy...

I will sleep on it, and decide first thing manana....but I have pretty much made up my mind. Sleeping on it is wise...I yield to the princess. Sweet dreams, dear friends...decision first thing tomorrow.
