On one hand I think it is very pretty, with its shades and shadows. And the model is a doll and we will decide right now airbrushed to death. Sssshhhhhhh I can’t hear you.
On the other hand, covers are meant to make you stop, pick up and look. I can see men stopping and picking up. I can see women doing a double take but this one sooooo not make me pick up a book with the idea of buying it.
What about you?
Uh, no. Not to buy. Looks cheesy.

Is she on a cellphone? Sitting there buckers on a cell. I find that humorous. I’d at least read the blurb.
Here’s what *I* want to see on a cover. Frontal view of a man, from his chin to his knees, sitting in a chair (may as well be a white, plastic bucket chair like the one on this cover). He’s wearing boy shorts that are tight enough we could tell his religion. I get to see nice abs that are a little scrunched up from sitting in a chair. He’s got a nice tan, a little manscaping to keep him from being Grizzly Adams, but not so much he’s effeminate-appearing, nice thighs, big hands dangling towards his legs from the chair’s arms.
Now THAT would make me buy the book. I bought Nymph King because of the drool-enducing man on the cover – not because I thought it was the best book blurb.
By the way – the book could be about anything, including Advanced Accounting or Podiatry for Dummies and I would still buy it with that kind of a man on the cover.
