    I’m going to say it’s like a chicken and egg scenario.

    It’s recommended that you don’t judge a thing or a person based on a quick glance. That’s good advice.

    Book covers are designed specifically to be judged at a quick glance because they know that’s what people do, despite the advice they were given.

      I think it’s also true in reverse. Like if the book cover looks really cool but the story is hot garbage.
