Ummm, "Don't judge a book by it's cover" ?
However, an intriguing cover can make you pick up a book that you wouldn't have. I have done that many, many times in the past though.
But I do agree mostly with what you say. I usually prefer a "clean" cover if I know what I am looking for. I do however like the spine of a p-book to look good when it's in the bookshelf!
