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.

Yeah...sometimes I didn't even look at the covers in the library or bookstore. I would look at the title on the spine, then pull the book out and look at the description on the back (or inside the front cover for most hardcovers). Even now, I don't recognize book covers of books I've read before as much as I recognize the title.
