Book Covers

I'm not gonna lie... I do judge a book by its cover. Guilty as charged. I'd like to say that covers don't effect my decision, but they really do. I like books better if they have cool covers. You know, even the feel of the book effects my opinion of it. The material of the cover and the pages (I prefer the matte paperback covers over the shiny ones). The binding and the sound of the pages as you flip though the book. The crispness and cut of the pages. Yeah that all matters to me. I'll admit it... no shame here. Just the truth.

Of course, I'm not completely shallow, the story matters as well. But if that story is wrapped up in an aesthetically pleasing cover with nice crisp pages in a pretty font... so much better!
