Heh. I suspect a lot of people still use covers to decide what to buy or read. I approve of using artistic arrangements of human anatomy to increase book sales; I suggest using title text arrangements to cover up any bits that would be illegal to display in public.
Of course, if your books are gritty westerns and buyers complain that the cover was misleading, that's your problem. (Insist that the covers were an abstract representation of the content. Get a third-year philosophy student to provide the explanation; offer him credit as a "literary analyst.")
