It’s time for another round of The Great Cover-Up! I was recently looking at a list of books displayed by cover. If I were going on the cover alone, I might have bought 10 out of the 50 that were listed. Clearly, books with attractive covers are going to garner more interest.
“Aspiring authors, get this through your head. Cover art serves one purpose, and one purpose only, to get potential customers interested long enough to pick up the book to read the back cover blurb. In the internet age that means the thumbnail image needs to be interesting enough to click on. That’s what covers are for.”
― Larry Correia
Luckily, I have a growing collection of literary beauty. Once again, I can’t vouch for the actual contents of the books represented below. We’re only here for the eye candy!

The Heroes, by Joe Abercrombie
