I wouldn’t say I pick books solely for the cover, but I am influenced by a beautiful cover, for sure.

Pick up very often in the bookshop but after I read the blurb, 98% stays in the shop?

I definitely check the book out if the cover is pretty! But do read the blurb after that.

I have been guilty of this… I also enjoy picking books with intriguing titles as well when eyeing the spines in the stacks at the library.

Yes. And pass up books if I don’t like the cover. It’s served me well.

Not as a rule… although I’ll browse an eye-catching book and read the puffies and the dust jacket description to see if it sounds like my sort of thing. I tend to read lots of reviews and choose my books that way. And I get on tangents, so if I read a book I love, I’ll go to the bibliography or the sources at the end and look for more titles there.
