The book cover gives me an indication of what the author sees the book as - romance, thriller, cozy mystery, chick lit, historical fiction, etc., and that's a good starting point for me. They all have their own styles of covers and it gives me an indication of what kind of book it is. It does not tell me how good of a book it is, although I am skeptical of whether much time and effort was put into a book when the cover looks like the Time Ninja cover I saw earlier in the thread.
