What started my thought process about judging a book by its cover* was the Book Case blog entry, Best Book Jackets of 2010. It is helpful (and appropriate) that there are links to the Book Page where one can read reviews. The best part of Book Page is the box in the bottom left corner with links to Independent Booksellers, WorldCat (where you can see the closest library that owns the book), and a site that compares online booksellers prices.
If judging a book by its cover is your selection style, book covers are a part of our library catalog. Looking at the cover is a quick and handy way to figure out if you want to go further.
