Re: Have you ever purchased a book because of the cover art?
I always read the description on the book.
The cover is important. It gives an idea of the professionalism of it and definitely adds to the appeal, but a book can have a beautiful cover, and still not be the type of book I personally like to read.

Yes. I think I have done that several times, especially when I was a child.Elle Howard wrote: ↑10 Sep 2017, 15:01 Many years ago, I was on a shopping trip to Chicago. I saw a book in the bookstore that had the coolest art on the cover. I purchased the book without ever looking at the title, the author or reading the description. I just thought it would be pretty cool sitting on a table in my office.
Later, I would start hearing about this must read book that everyone was looking all over for. I recognized the cover immediately. It was the book sitting in my office. Feeling somewhat foolish and guilty, I actually sat down and read the book. It was the first Harry Potter book and it was amazing.
Have you ever purchased a book based on the artwork on the cover? If so, did you ever actually read the book?
