Honestly, I couldn't tell you anything about 95% of the covers of books I've read over the years...I just don't notice them. For the ones that I do remember things about the covers, it's always for books that I've read and re-read many times. Even then, I don't necessarily associate the book cover with a specific book, but it will look familiar enough to me to remind me that I read it, or maybe that it is part of a series I read. The Three Investigators books are an example of this, and the old Nancy Drew books, as well, along with a few old science fiction books that I've read and re-read over the years. I can't tell you exactly what book, but I can maybe tell you the author, or series, or both.
