BTT: The Cover
And this week’s Booking Through Thursday question is:
While acknowledging that we can’t judge books by their covers, how much does the design of a book affect your reading enjoyment? Hardcover vs. softcover? Trade paperback vs. mass market paperback? Font? Illustrations? Etc.?
Well… I prefer softcover to hardcover, mass market to trade paperback. Font doesn’t matter, illustrations in the book don’t matter to tell the truth. If it’s a favorite author, it won’t matter what the outside looks like at all. If I haven’t heard of the author, it’s usually the title of the book, not the cover of it that catches my eye, so frankly, the design or artwork of a book don’t really matter to me.
