I have not seen all book covers.
I do not love all book covers that I have seen.
I would only "love" or "hate" a book cover after experiencing it.
I don't find it important if I do.

Why do japanese love the covers of all books? It's something associated with religion, culture...?
Why do japanese always go with a camera in their hands...?

It's simple... traditionally, the Japanese made books out of rice paper, and customarily added salt to the covers to make them last longer. Japanese book covers were tasty. Today most book covers are inedible, but the liking persists.

nice try, Andromeda! :rofl:
I remember once I gave my friend some special white-chocolate-coated dog-biscuits for her dog. I brought them to work and the things just looked awfully delicious! In a fit of mischief, we were able to trick four programmers into sampling them by telling them they were cookies! :rofl:

You're just evil MIH! :uhh: But I guess we already knew that.
Let's see, if I had to pick a cover of a book I like best, I guess I'd pick the back cover. The front cover is mostly redundant with the title page, but the back cover has either a description of the book or a little bio about the author...that makes it interesting.
Though, for eating, I'd have to say I prefer paperbacks. Hardcovers are just too chewy. :rofl:

Reminds me of a young scientist I once knew who was invited to a paper-reading event but misheard and thought it was a paper-eating event.Moonbear said:
Considering how much textbooks cost, and how little you get for them on trade-in, making them edible would be a really nice bonus! Instead of those worthless CD ROMs they bundle in, how about a Hershey bar? Now that's value-added!

^^ I'm all for it...
I had a friend once who was really into smelling books...(I'm serious...). He said you could tell a lot about a book from its smell. He was a bit wacky...I guess that goes without saying ;-)

It sure would solve the problem of the starving grad student. Once you're done with a chapter, eat it for dinner.
