Anyway, I was just giving my reasons why I wouldn't buy the book.

I do know of another author that was flat out stealing covers and titles from well known romance authors but I guess HE finally gave up when people realized that the books were not good.
He hasn't published anything in over a year.
Cin, that is the cover of the original hardcover edition, published by William Morrow in 1968. In any case, the picture of the hand on the legs which appeared on later editions also does not look at all like that on the book you cited. And I showed your other reasons don't seem to apply, either, so I continue to wonder why you singled out this book. It didn't even have a famous name in the blurb (as you claimed it did) which is the point of this thread.

And what has unnamed author who stole titles and covers from others got to do with anything? With the addendum that titles can't be copyrighted anyway, so no theft involved.

People can not buy books for all sorts of reasons, even spurious ones. But I'm sensing an undisclosed agenda here, since none of your reasons are objective or based in fact.
