Or, if people pick it up and look inside, it may sell in spite of
the cover. There's a reason the dollar stores sell those flimsy
cloth covers for paperback books.  I bought certain authors for
decades in spite of horrible covers, and at least once I stuck
thick sticky-paper labels over a disgusting cover so I could
stand to have the book in the house.
