Would you buy a book simply because you like the cover?

No. I don't really mind about the beautiful cover of the book. I usually buy books with inspirational themes. Whenever I buy a book, I look at the back cover first to read the review about the book's content. Then I browse the book's contents and if like it, I buy it. There are books with attractive cover but with poor contents. It's a waste of money if you buy those type of books. The book I had recently bought was The Heavenly Man and that's the only book that i weep while reading it. It's very inspirational and life-changing book.

the covers surely do take my attention but i would only buy them if i know what it is all about, most of the time i read the back side of the book where the synopsis is given, if i like the story and theme of the book then only i would buy it.

oh,you are right.sometimes a good cover can attract me to read it.but i will read its catalogue to decide whether i will buy it or not.

No, I don't buy a book simply because I like the cover. I'll buy a book if the synopsis of the book interests me. If you bought a book simply because of it's cover, then I think you might be disappointed, as you don't know what the book is about, unless the cover makes it very clear what the book is about. This simply does not make much sense to me. It might just be me, but it's what I think about buying a book simply because I like the cover.

No, I wouldn't buy a book simply for the cover. However, if it is a book I must buy and there are different editions...I'd be willing to pay a little extra for the prettiest cover. I guess it's just the artist in me.

I don't buy books just because I like the cover but I do admit the cover could attract your attention to check the book.

I usually read the blurb first then if its interesting then I buy it. Or sometimes I write down the title then surf it on the net and try to find out if its worth buying.

Not anymore, I used to buy books with covers that caught my eye and ended up with a book that I just couldn't get into reading. So now I read a little about the book on the back or the inside flap. I don't like to buy a book in a hurry but if I do, I will just pick something by an author that I like so there's a good chance I'll enjoy the book too.

I don't think so, not simply for the cover, although that'd be one of the main reasons. I always have to look inside the book and see what its about and skim through some pictures and read a little before buying, the title is the main thing that gets me interested in a book.

No!! I usually read the back cover first. Usually right after a couple of sentences I know if I want to read the book or not. I need instant gradification, lol..

I would buy a book for it's content, however would go for it's cover if it's design is so attractive that could add to my collections or my grand daughter would need it in the future for school projects.
