The mythical they always say to never judge a book by its cover and I think I found an example of it today.<\/p>\n
I found a book in a bargain bin\u00a0– I hadn’t planned buying a book today but I just can’t reists looking at a bargain bin of books… It caught my eye because it’s written by Pearl Buck<\/a> and I remember her book, I picked it up, read the blurb and though ‘why not?’ and bought it.<\/p>\n As I put it on the counter to buy it, however, I noticed the front cover for the first time. I had to double check what book it was as the cover looked like a cheesy, trashy romance novel cover – and I choose not to read such books as there are so many books I would enjoy in my limited reading time.<\/p>\n If I had seen the cover first, I would not have even read the blurb to be honest, or noticed the author. So it goes to show that the cover is important for getting noticed and influencing decisions.<\/p>\n Once I’ve read it, I’ll let you know if the cover or the author was a better guide to its value!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The mythical they always say to never judge a book by its cover and I think I found an example of it today.
