“It may be true that you can't judge a book by its cover," Daisy G. had told Blister just last summer. "But the cover tells you something about the book and don't ever pretend it doesn't.”

“You can't judge a book by it's cover but you can sure sell a bunch of books if you have a good one.”

“Don't judge a book by its cover”

“Sometimes I read the same books over and over and over. What's great about books is that the stuff inside doesn't change. People say you can't judge a book by its cover but that's not true because it says right on the cover what's inside. And no matter how many times you read that book the words and pictures don't change. You can open and close books a million times and they stay the same. They look the same. They say the same words. The charts and pictures are the same colors.Books are not like people. Books are safe.”

“You CAN judge a book by it's cover!”

“If you cannot judge a book by its cover, surely we should not judge an author by one book alone?”
