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 am curious what Warner forever is however i don't think i would buy this book on the cover I would look at the back in case it's just a case of rubbish art. I am curious about it but not sold.

Hmmmm. Take off on Must Love Dogs. That doesn't bode well. It sounds like it could be humorous. I think it might be a little to femine for my tastes. So, I would probably pass.

No. Unless a friend recommended it to me, I would definately pass it up and not look back. And, even then, that would have to be one Hell of a recommendation!

Looks like a humorous SFF romance to me. The romance part keeps me away.
