Yes it did. I had initially thought from just the book cover that it was a sci-fi/fantasy book but learned otherwise when I read the description. I found the picture of the butterfly person intriguing.

No, the book cover did not influence my choice to read the book, I decided to read it because of the book title.

The cover looked intriguing, to be honest, but the title seemed mind-boggling. I hope I'll be able to get a decent amount of mind probing with this book.

Yes, the book cover influenced me to read this book. I am usually attracted to books that have vibrant graphics that seem to display some kind of complexity or mystery. The book cover intrigued me, and I was eager to unravel what lies within its pages. I was very impressed when I found more interesting pictures inside.

I always judge a book by it's cover at first but this cover did very little justice to this book and would not be the top thing on my list of what attracted me to it. But it passes down subtle messages like the philosophy nature of the book.

It did influence me, in that I don't think I'd like to read the book. I don't think it would fit in a genre that I would enjoy.

The cover definitely makes me interested and that's knowing the fact that I already find the idea of alchemy interesting.
