Seems like a good reason to me - at least your dad has something nice to look at if he doesn't like the content. There are some seriously beautiful and thought enhancing pieces of graphics and artwork on those covers. I wonder if the artwork influences not just our intention to buy the book, but also our overall perception of the content? Some of my favourite titles and authors there. Thanks for the links.
