But as a reader I'm not sure I like it. One of the things I love about the books I choose to read is the cover, the cover is part of the story, it explains it. emphasizes it, highlights part of it. I admit I have been known to read a particular book simply because I adored the cover!<br />Thank you for including some of Penguin's comments from their blog, love their attitude about this idea!<br /><br />Amy<br />Aimala02@yahoo.comAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02379940589426626464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-6233204511624524662009-06-22T21:50:10.277-07:002009-06-22T21:50:10.277-07:00oh!! love love love!!!oh!! love love love!!!English Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18143046698168051018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-49313950838500460302009-06-21T13:40:16.727-07:002009-06-21T13:40:16.727-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sesame Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09576562898783023106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-70596406162453194302009-06-21T13:39:09.443-07:002009-06-21T13:39:09.443-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Sesame Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09576562898783023106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6117194181116669144.post-76889543991517137872009-06-20T05:56:29.889-07:002009-06-20T05:56:29.889-07:00I love it.
