Usually, if I haven't read a review or don't know the author by reputation or from a review, I'll buy it based on reading the first page or the blurb on the back cover. I am very curious to see how others answer this.Deborah M.

I used to buy books for the cover, but learned that sometimes, that;s all the book has to offer - a great cover.Kathye Quickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04952763179663503451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079931541460049406.post-17255692087614126612014-11-12T04:54:40.625-08:002014-11-12T04:54:40.625-08:00Good question, Jean.

Reading an excerpt will do the trick if the writing is good and the characters interest me. The biggest factor is a recommendation from a friend whose taste I respect.Sandy Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02824301408180614516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079931541460049406.post-36667311788024110792014-11-12T04:25:15.728-08:002014-11-12T04:25:15.728-08:00I'm afraid I have a tendency toward "judg...I'm afraid I have a tendency toward "judging a book by its cover." Cover art really floats my boat and often dictates my purchases. (of course, I may read the back blurb first or go on reviews, but by in large, it's the cover that snags me.Sofie Couchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702484708743477860noreply@blogger.com
