Sure, glossy does seem to be more alive than matte.

I'm looking at the title and whether the cover fits the type of book. The type of finish on the cover won't change my mind about buying it.



Although matte seems a little more sophisticated, the cover type doesn't determine my choice of book either. If I like it, I like it despite the cover finish.

It depends onthe design imprinted on the covers. Some design finishes looks good over glossy print and some looks better over matt. So it needs to be tested before being finalised.
