So what do you think? wink

I think if you don't have a nice cover, you're going to have a much harder time getting people to read. doh

The cover can look as good as all get out but ya gotta read the book to see if it matches the cover or if the book is better than the cover!

For me it's all about "It's all about the content."

What good is a nice cover? After looking at it for 5 minutes, where's the content? No content, no read, no go!! grin cool

It depends what's on the cover. For instance, if it's The Picture of Dorian Grey, then you can pretty much figure out that Little bo Peep is not going to be on the inside. But some books have very plain covers, yet have wonderful stories in them.

Incidentally, if this is meant as an analogy (and I assume it is) then that probably explains why that one guy once told me he could "read me like a book," but insisted he was blind and the only way he could read was by using Braille.confused

I think the content is much more important than the cover. I don't care how attractive the cover is, I don't want to read a vapid or annoying text once, nevermind repeatedly. wine

I don't normally judge books by there covers, it's only when there is no cover(no pic on a dating site) you have to be cautious. To me it doesn't matter how a person looks as long as they are honest and have a good personality.
