I am rereading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series and i have a box set with no slip covers and rough cut pages, GOD I LOVE IT. the paper feels amazing, i dont have trash slip covers, just solid colored books. Ive begun buying old library leather bound books in the solid red, Ive just received several King novels in and its lovely.

Idk why, but I thought of Lynch looking at that cover. It looks like a mix of TP and MD.

I definitely judge books by their covers. I will flat out refuse to buy a book I want if it has a bad cover, and I'll always buy the better cover even if it's more expensive.

This is one of the worst I think I've ever seen:
