Yep. The book stores/libraries were primarily presented spine out and I was looking for specific titles/authors anyway. I was a card-catalog junkie. I can't remember a time when I was browsing for books by looking at covers. There may have been such a time when I was really young, but I realized early on that there was rarely a connection between me liking a cover and me liking a book (and vice-versa). I never really did get the connection between artwork and book-writing/reading. Maybe if it was an book of
art, I'd feel differently.
