Don’t judge a book by its cover, but that’s exactly what I do
When I am in the library browsing through
Bookshelves full of books with covers artfully designed
I look at the title, the typography, the layout and if I find
All of them appealing, I take the book home with me
And nine times out of ten, I read it before returning it to the library..
*
Mostly if the cover is promising the book delivers too
There obviously are times when the opposite is true
Being an avid reader and a patron of my local library
I think I can identify a book worth reading from a cover that appeals to me
*
To judge a book by its cover is a fun exercise
Both when the content is expected and when it ends up being a surprise
If I write a book in the distant future I shall keep in mind
To put substantial effort into the cover design
Passion...unbridled
