I'll pick a book up because of the cover...but it's the back cover and what's inside that counts!

I've learned over the years to flip through and read some of the actual text to see if it is a style that will engage me. Reviews will tempt me, but I've bought too many books that other people loved and I hated to rely on them.

I will usually buy a book if I've seen or heard the author and liked them.
