minus-squaredaisy lazarus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up57·1 year agoI think the point is that the cover is never guaranteed to accurately represent the book. Quality of cover =/= quality of book
minus-squareRGB3x3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up17·1 year agoAlthough, I’ll never buy a book where the author’s name is in bigger, bolder font than the title of the book. I hate that trend in cover design and I refuse to support it.
