I personally think the design of the cover is important but not as important as the blurb. But some people might disagree.
1. The book I am reading is the 'Spook's Apprentice'. It looks like it is covered in worn out weather and the barcode looks like old paper. It only has one picture and this is good. The colour, font, cover and illustration suits the book well.
2. No, not really. I don't exactly look at the cover instead i read the blurb on the back. As for the packaging of the read, again no. Even though it is good, no, I just read the blurb.
3. A good front covers doesn't need to have lots of stuff going on. It needs to be nice and simple. Dull colours are really bad. As for a bad front cover, it's basically the opposite of everything I just said. Oh and a good front cover usually relates to the story and quickly captures attention.
4. Unfortunately, no, that has never happened to me.
5. I happen to look upon Nick's former book 'Bloodflower'. The cover has a hand covered in battle armour and there is blood covering it. I immediately figure out that the main character is some kind of a warrior. I also think it is set in medieval times. I then think that their is a war or something similar going on. The cover is dull but the blood is bright a stands out and this is really effective.
