The Cover and the Book

Every week Coffee Addicted Writer hosts the Book Blogger Hop. Participants answer a question and then visit other blogs of fellow participants to chime in on the discussion. This week's question is:

“How important is a book's cover to your overall impression of it?”

My answer: There's an old saying that you can't judge a book by its cover. But I do. Often.  I'd say the cover contributes about 10% to my overall impression.  The content far outweighs the cover, but an attractive cover can certainly catch my eye if I'm just browsing.

What about you?
