I can usually identify a book I've read by its cover, but rarely by its title. This creates problems for me because the cover is generally tied to the publisher, not the author; when rights are purchased by another catalog, the cover changes.
Covers are also important to the branding of an author, especially for series works; all the covers in the series have the same themes. And who cannot instantly identify a harlequin romance by the cover?
Is the amount of exposed cleavage on the cover directly proportional to the erotica contained therein? Or is she just a tease.
