What I dislike - intensely! - is when the artist uses a photo cover showing the author's wife or girlfriend or mistress (but never all three together in one shot, thank god) in the foreground; and in the background, a grassy or hilly mountain plain, along with a skyscraper or two, as if this wacky combination can somehow entice one to read what might otherwise be a pretty good piece of fiction. But you'd never know it.
These types of covers are usually abysmal, and the 'models' look like they are experiencing an extreme case of constipation.
