Look at the following cover. Imagine that you have only the cover and the information it provides (including images, title and author name) to decide whether to buy this (or any) book.

Would you buy this book having looked only at its cover? If so, what on this cover sold you? If not, what on this cover turned you off?

If you have, in fact, bought and/or read this book, tell us how well our verdicts guided us. Did the cover lead us rightly into great fiction? Or did the cover wrongly steer us toward a bad story or away from a great one?

So, would you buy this book by its cover?

I liked this art then noticed it was for book six in a series i have never even heard of. Nice cover though i like the way the arist has worked with a limited range of colours.

Might it inspire you to go back and check out the first book in the series?

No, I would not buy it from the cover, but I'll buy it as #6.

I hope this is as much fun as the other five.
