Cover Art enhances the shopping and selection process, but I would buy or read a book without it (and have). But all other things being equal, I would buy a book with cover art over one without.

It does enhance the overall 'book' experience for me. I feel the same way about cover art for music records only more so. CDs weren't too awful re, cover art but the whole download experience has weakened the overall music experience for me.

Having been born during the age of dinosaurs, I can remember having cranked up the volume on my LP, listening to too loud music on my heavy (HEAVY!) headphones and getting lost in the combination of the music and the cover art while I listened to "The Doors".
