Good ones attract my attention. Bad/cheap covers will often turn me away from a book. If I see another young girl/boy vampire cover, I think it'll toss my cookies.

Yeah, I've learned the hard way that cover is 99% of the sale. That became frightfully true with my original Oort Perimeter cover. Oddly enough though, I've seen people who actually like the retro-esque blue cover over my newer one. Honestly, that's fine by me, but the thought that the cover makes up so much of the buyers choice these days is kinda startling. I mean, look at covers from the 1800's and early 1900's. Bland, text based covers, and yet people still bought, but only because of the merits of the book itself.
