If you can figure yourself loving a serie, and one day in the future wandering off and seeing a cover whose art you are familiar with, displayed behind a window in the streets, you stop: it's the latest book of that serie, released with a 10 years gap (the author need money and wrote a new one late). This will be you being influenced by a consistently designed cover.

Not a single bookstore on my streets.
I honestly don't understand the pushback against my claim. I'm not saying anyone else is wrong for being influenced by covers, I'm saying my process of acquiring books to read bypasses images for the most part. What's so hard to believe about that? I'm not immune to visual stimuli, I just don't
SEE bookcovers (especially not before I buy them). Because I don't want to.
