Contrary to the popular belief, book should always be judged by the cover.

If a writer is serious about creating a masterpiece, he will spend time to bind the book in beautiful cover and maybe slipcase which will create uniformed, coherent release. If you write something good and then decide to cheap out on cover and hire some Deviant Art retard to screw some 10 min Photoshop shit on top of it, your book sucks and I will never read it.

>Contrary to the popular belief, book should always be judged by the cover.
Absolutely this, ever since my primary school librarian told me this as a very young kid I intuitively new it was bullshit. "But isn't the cover made to tell the reader what type of book it is?" I would say.

>>13658323
Even worse.

Mostly yes but what if you cannot get a hardcover?

Yes. I find these to be the most appropriate covers the Sprawl trilogy has received. The appeal, at least for me, has always been the sensation evoked of hyper-urbanism as a disorienting fever dream, and not future-man with gun and cool jacket.
