Incomplete or  absent.

Somewhat complete but not appealing.  Some empty spaces not filled by text or art work. Empty spaces on pages!  Font size too big giving the appearance of a children's book.

Comprehensive and professional.  Appealing to the eye.  Captures attention and leads one to want to buy book.  Good author biography.
