We have all heard you can't judge a book by it's cover. Unfortunately we all do it. We pick an interesting looking book up, read the back cover and maybe look a little at the firs few pages. Of course many people judge just by what they see on the cover.

I just spent several days helping my daughter with the cover for her first book, "Ghost Stories and Legends of Murphy, NC" by Marie Ault. And we tried to pick fonts, pictures and of course the proper back cover blurbs about book contents and the author. I guess time will tell if we did well.

I have also been agonizing over potential covers form my two WIPs, "The Emeralds of Salt Cay" and "Suppressors: Shattered". Believe me until you really study the art of making a book cover you don't realize what goes into them.

Anyway I hope you will dive deeper than just the covers when you make your next purchases.
