Haha. Very amusing. I enjoyed the funny rant. Thanks for sharing. She probably doesn't read much non-fiction, as photos of real people can be very effective, especially for biographies and memoirs.
I would think that if you are Stephen King or someone big like that you get final say over what your cover looks like. But for most authors, it's probably a big surprise.
I think book covers are important and either add a new dimension to a book or are little pieces of artwork which can be enjoyed all by themselves. For this reason, I don't understand those who purposely leave covers off their ebooks in their digital libraries. If nothing else, they provide visual cues that help me navigate through my books and recall what a book is about.
