The cover was in fact deliberately selected to advertise the book and often looks better than the contents read

FTFY

Except for the Bobbsey Twins books, Their covers were on point, and they were very well written.

You cannot judge a book by its cover.

Humans aren't books.

For all of the slow folks with us tonight, this is not talking about books, this is, in fact, talking about niggers.
