If I am looking at a book that has a title I've never heard of and an author I've never heard of, the first thing I see is the cover. If the cover is lousy or screams genre that I won't like, I go no further. Thing is, there are plenty of books I will enjoy. So why take a risk on a book that I may not like. There has to be some criteria on how to pick a book and the cover is one way to do it. If the cover is good, I will read the summary and decide from there. Price is another thing. I can see the cover and then the price and then not go any further if it's too expensive.
