I think Hitch is spot on with 'click bait'.
First you need the person to LOOK at the book, open the cover (Old school merchant here) . Why do you think Amazon has 'Look inside' . That is what sells the work, not the cover. The cover GOT YOUR ATTENTION.

I seem to be the outlier on large Author names. I do LOOK an my faves, but I don't go browsing for a Don Browles book. I Browse for a book that grabs my eye (the right way What were they thinking ).

So there are 2 ways to catch an EYE: 1) is the graphical look. 2) A catchy Title
...Thanks for your thoughts on this issue.

Unfortunately, if you started browsing for a 'Don Browles" book, you wouldn't find one by me. . (I suppose I can always change my last name to 'Browles.')
