Heh. Most I'd say. I find cover art usually goes from bad to absolutely horrible. Books should only be bound in black leather with the title and author in gold lettering on the front.

Lmao, that would mess me up so bad. I would never find anything on my bookshelves. but it’s hilarious imagining the really trashy stuff bound so elegantly.

Since you don’t like most stuff, is there a book cover design you DO like that isn’t just a plain cover? I find leather bound with pressed foil or engraved designs can be really elegant. I love that look for historical nonfiction.

So books should only be like $50-100+?

Sarcasm. Tongue in cheek. Joke. Exaggregation for comedic effect. Jeez....

And honestly, nowadays it hardly matters as 99% of all books I buy are ebooks.
