If I see an appealing cover, I'm eager to grab the book and read the blurb!<br /><br />I don't buy into the what the author looks like will sell the book--just let him or her be able to tell a good story.<br /><br />However, long, long ago when John Grisham first hit the scene (I was a librarian back then), all of the librarians I worked with (including me--who was single at the time) thought he was a hottie;). Oh, and we liked his books too!Maria McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15138614172014005449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443047332769568071.post-68103180290087963372012-03-20T11:09:48.181-04:002012-03-20T11:09:48.181-04:00It seems to be the thing to not judge a book by a ...It seems to be the thing to not judge a book by a cover but as you said, we're visual creatures. It's in our instinct, we're naturally drawn to things we're attracted to. <br /><br />As for the author photo selling the book? I've never, ever come across an author photo that sold me the story. What a bizarre thought!Scarlett Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04186914230313529197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443047332769568071.post-64278653872489346802012-03-19T12:07:03.095-04:002012-03-19T12:07:03.095-04:00The cover will catch my eye and make me pause long...The cover will catch my eye and make me pause long enough to check out the story. Of course, it's the story that sells me.<br /><br />As far as covers go, I absolutely think they should be well done and in line with what traditional publishers put out with books of the same genre.
