I love covers. I love the feel of a smooth, mat finish. I prefer an artistic rendition rather than a photo, but if a photo, I like it soft focus or blurred and mysterious. I like soft colours. I don't like garish blood splatter, or Fabio looking men with long hair and muscles. I want the cover to invite me inside to the mystery, espionage, or romance that awaits. -- HarmyBoard Entertainment

[> Standing in front of bookshelves or racks, in the library or in a store, I look first for the author - I have many favorites -mostly mystery series. If I look at the cover, I like one that is reflective of the title. It can be photo, painting, rendering. But, I really look more at the author, title and flyleaf or back cover synopsis. The cover picture is really secondary. -- Jan, 18:37:39 10/19/12 Fri [1]
