At first glance, the picture depicts two couples, one on the right and one on the left. After a closer inspection, are those really couples? Maybe the center characters are one couple. See how they are both looking right at you? The other two are turned away as if they want no part of the other two. The entire picture must tell a story, too. The characters seem to be hand drawn, cut, and pasted in front of the sky scape as though they don’t really belong.
And how about this one:
Typically when I see a skull I think horror, however the girl doesn’t appear the least bit frightened. In fact, she looks down right relaxed. And what is the significance of the sailboat when there is no water in sight?
A pet peeve of mine is when publishers re-release a “media tie in edition” of a book. How can you really compare this
with this 
?
How about you?
Do you buy books based on what the cover looks like?
What are some of your favorites?
