>>24924495Same, unless the author is dead, but I can't trust someones artistic sense or taste if they picked an ugly cover.
>>24924521same, I also hate he author's photo
>>24924555I have never seen an author's photo that doesn't come off as a complete douchebag.
I only buy books with movie adapted covers
