But this is also different. The people making a fuss about these books already know about the book and what it's about, some even having already read it. I do the same thing as you when I go to a library or bookstore, but I'm also not going to not read a book with an ugly cover.

I feel like that's different though. You weren't choosing to boycott the book because of the re-designed cover, you just wanted the original cover, and from what you said it doesn't seem like you made a big fuss over it.

I don't even know which one is the Polish translation, and I don't really care! They both look fine! Better than fine- they both look cool.

The saying literally is don't judge a book by it's cover.

You're insides are worth more than your outsides.

If it's a good book it's a good book. Some cover art is hideous, but not reading a book over it is just ridiculous.

If the author is good at their job, they'd know when to pull the plug on their story. Story's have a beginning, middle, and end. Some books make take 5 or more books, some may only need to tell their story in one book, but every book has an end. Some writers just don't know when that is, or don't care, which disappoints everyone in the end.

I think that some authors just write a story for us to find pleasure in, and because of our different perspective and empathy, we can draw out deeper meanings that might not have been in the story at all.
