Don't Judge a Book By It's Cover

I've always liked to buy second hand books. I buy books for lots of reasons:I like the author, or it has an interesting cover. This book met both those criteria. I think the gold leaves on the side are so pretty. I buy books that I've always wanted to read or that remind me of my childhood. This set by Winston Churchill fulfilled that role. I have the whole set of 5 and I plan to read them some day. Here I've used that decorating technique of stacking things on books. It really helps when you need to vary the height of things.
I buy books because I like the color.

Lately I've been buying books with patterned covers. This art nouveau look is attractive.
and look at the colorful designs on these Reader's Digest Condensed books.
I liked the pattern on this little book too. It goes perfectly with my Delft pieces.
Recently I've read 2 of the books that I bought because I liked the color. One was a red book: The Word by Irving Wallace. The other was a yellow book: Johanna by Claire Cooperstein which was a novel about the sister-in-law of Vincent Van Gogh. I discovered that the inside was just as good as the outside.

So what color shall I read next? Blue? Yellow? I think I'll choose yellow next: The Covenant by James Mitchener.

Who said you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover?
