However, the cover can be wonderful, but if it screams at me that I may not like it, I'll bypass the book. Maybe it's romance or sparkly vampires, The cover can be great, but the genre has to be good for me to look further into the book. Though a lot of romance books have boring formulaic covers.
I have bought some really good books (written by a then unknown author) because of the cover. if the covers had been poor, I would never have read the books.

This is fine. No arguments. Have it. Different strokes. Lovely. Thanks for sharing. Peace out. Good talk.

Had you said "to me," or to "many," or "to most" you'd not hear a peep from me. But you didn't. So I feel the need to point out that your statement is not an objective fact. You merely WANT it to be one.

And now you've crossed entirely into the realm of unadulterated mumbo-jumbo-ism, and are contributing nothing.
