This week’s Musing Mondays asks…
Do you think the book cover is “dead”? Do you care whether the “covers” on digital books exist or not?
I hate the idea that the book cover could die! I'll admit, what usually attracts me to a book, whether it's online, in a book store, or in the library, is the cover. If the cover is bad, I usually won't even pick up the book unless the title really intrigues me or its been recommended to me. Call me shallow, but if a book isn't pretty on the outside then I'll assume it isn't pretty on the inside either!
I think that as long as books are around, then the book cover is necessary. Also, one of the main reasons that I don't read digital books is because they just don't look good. So if an ebook doesn't even have a cover, I wouldn't even go there! So yes I care, and I actually care more than I thought I would. Why does everything have to be so technological advanced these days? Can't we just take books as they were meant to be - paperbacks and hardbacks with beautiful covers and crisp pages that smell amazing when they're old. Maybe it's just me, but I think that change is not always a good thing.
The death of the book cover is definitely something to think about...
