Also Covers are less use than Blurbs. Blurbs are often bad. Sometimes have spoilers and sometimes you wonder did the Blurb writer read the book. Mind, I write terrible Blurbs, but I can't afford a Blurb writer. Also authors may write a great novel and be useless at a blurb or a synopsis (which SHOULD have spoilers!).

I find samples and "Look inside" better. I'd look inside in a bookshop.
