Incidentally, I despise foily covers--I know they mean the author is Doing Better, but I hate having sun in my eyes, and given the chance between a foily cover and a non-foily cover, I will almost always pick the non-foily one as a book-consumer. I must be a minority, though.
I know authors who don't like them either. I don't mind foil (on lettering) but dislike that backfoil that makes the whole cover glare in the wrong light. I don't mind embossing as long as it's also only type or the design element; embossed people drive me nuts because their faces rub off <wry g>.
