Judging Books by their Cover

Books are quite easy to judge by first glance. When speaking on this topic it makes me think of reading the book, Blink. In that book, it was all about first impressions and how they constantly affected your beliefs about a certain topic, specifically a book. Based on the picture on the front cover or certain colors, a book can really catch a reader’s eye. If you see an image or color that is particularly appeasing to you, the reader most likely gets an urge to pick it up and “take it for a spin”. An occurrence of this for me, was the book, “Josh Hamilton: Beyond Belief”. It had an iconic baseball player on the front and a picture that really drew me in. Despite the saying, most people still judge books by their cover.
