“All books are judged by their covers until they are read.”
“In the words of Agatha Swanburne, founder of Swanburne Academy, "Every book is judged by its cover until it is read.”
“Covers, so many covers, so many different, delectable pictures, and although, metaphorically speaking, it is the thing I hate most, when it comes to literature I always judge books by their covers. First the cover will catch my eye, then I read the back of the book, and then finally the first page.”
“Some people say, ‘Do not judge the book by its cover!’ Well, I say not to judge at all. People can say anything they want to say, but for me, cover does matter.”
“Don't judge a book by its cover”
“If you cannot judge a book by its cover, surely we should not judge an author by one book alone?”
