I judge books by their cover, and it has literally never failed me.

Cool cover = good book
Lame cover = bad book

The cool chocobo bird draws appeal at first but then I read all that "pulitzer" and "comic fugue" stuff and I'm tired already.

I just realized that this cover is a detail from this painting. Near the bottom.
>>

>>24114748
But what if a book has multiple editions with wildly different covers?
>>
>>24117923
>book is cool enough to get multiple cool covers
this is all that matters
>>
>>24117571
so cool
>>
>>24114837
The author/title text is really poorly made and MS Paint tier. The rest is just a painting.

>draws appeal
I hope you don't really talk like this.

ALRIGHT /LIT/ bros.lets play a game. search for books on Amazon or any online book store ,and pick the one that catches your eye cuz of the cover art and buy it (the book -including the author-has to be something you don't know single shit about. ).then post it here and others ( who have already read that book) will tell you if it's slop or worth reading.

Moorcock's Blood used the same painting
>>
>>24114748
I do the same and it never failed me too. Sometimes the cover may not be the best but there is some element that says "you should give it a try". Titles and author's name also helps, a good author doesn't use a dumb name or chose a lousy title.

I sighed uncontrollably as my tired digits dribbled against the pantone keys. Another day, another synechdoche of stupidity tarnishes my keen-eyed orbs. Won't someone rid me of this turbulent anon?
