No, not really, I chose what I read by author. Many covers, both way back and now, had little relation to content.
I do like covers, though, and appreciate a good one. My all-time favourite is the paperback edition of Agatha Christie's "Death in the Clouds" Fontana paperback edition, with an outsize bee monstering a 1930s Handley Page Imperial Airways airliner. The book cover guest-appeared in an episode of Dr Who...
If I get an e-book with a poor cover, I will hunt down a good one and replace it, because I browse my Calibre library by covers. Years ago I scanned all of my then book covers so i have a huge library to chose from.
