that a person who tells you they do not judge a book by its cover is speaking an untruth. May you be proud or prejudiced on this score let us all speak the truth now.
I raise my hand in all honesty and say I Whitney of the blog Honestly Austen do indeed judge a book by its cover.
Welcome to this edition of Who Wore It Wednesday where I am turning it into an award type post where we go beyond the red carpet to the award show itself! Here are the categories:
Best Overall Cover Art
Unknowingly Breathtaking
Most Likely to be Plucked from the Shelf
Here are the red carpet finalists:
Rockport
Palitra L. Publishing
The Folio Society
Splinter
Harper Teen
Createspace
And My Winners Are:
Best Overall Cover Art
Createspace
Unknowingly Breathtaking
Palitra L. Publishing
Most Likely to be Plucked from the Shelf

Do you agree literary lovelies? Would you switch around the winners or do you have a contender on your own shelf? I would love to know in the comments below! The choices were harder than I thought they would be!

Postscript: The Createspace cover which won Best Overall Cover Art is the second time I have showcased one of their covers on WWBW! They were included within my first ever Who Wore it Best Wednesday blog post which you can read here!

Mmm…that Folio Society cover, though.
It’s true, and it’s something I wish I could help writers understand: people WILL judge a book by its cover, because a book is more than just words on paper. It’s an experience, and people who consider themselves serious collectors are looking for something visually appealing.

It is also a great one!
What you say is very accurate. Books are judged by their covers, they are so much more than just words on paper and they are an experience! Thank you for the lovely comment!
