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.

No agenda whatsoever. I saw something on that book that you didn't.
I gave my reasons only.
The first time I looked at that particular book I misread his name.
I read Mash and Klinger. I had to look closer to see that it wasn't.
That cover is very similar to the paperback I own. . Note when I saw this book the author font was half the size we use here and the book was a 1 inch square.
Quick glances are what sells books.
And no I do not know that author.
