I ordered some books off this site ThriftBooks, they were super cheap and was actually a great deal. Couple dollars.They had options for, what seemed like, multiple prints available, so I handpicked the print that had the best cover art.
I've always been drawn to cover art, something about it can make or break the way I feel about starting a book, or carrying it around with me, just...something about it. I don't know. I like cover art. Ironically, I don't like dust jackets. I take them off and like the plainness left behind.
So I chose the best print I saw for a book I was really looking to read, pic related. There's a ton of other covers for this book, but this one stood out to me and really appealed to me, so I ordered it and got the "Blade Runner" book with the Blade Runner cover, which is really turning me off from the whole book now. In very small text you can see "do androids dream of electric sheep? now filmed as..." "BLADE RUNNER, A MAJOR FILM STARRING HARRISON FORD" with a bunch of actors pictures all over the cover.
Like, I know I'm being nitpicky, but god damn it really makes me not want to read the book just because of this god damn cover. Does anybody else actually care about the cover of the book they choose to read?

Here's another example. I love Requiem for a Dream, the movie, and would love to start reading the book. I just looked it up on eBay, and all I see are film adaptation covers, like pic related.

I'd never buy one of those obviously, and knowing that they even exist makes me sigh and all, sure
but is it really worth making a thread about

(Sorry for all the posting, I'm just trying to post multiple images to give a good description)
Honestly, I like the movie so much that the cover is a pretty minor thing for me. I'll still probably pick it up. But I really wanted a previous print, like pic related, just so it feels more...original.
But, of course, it's $250.
What the fuck, man. I'm hoping there are other prints for this book that aren't super rare, I'll look into it later, but this is mainly just a rant so I can see who actually feels the same way about all of this.

I don't know, honestly. I don't visit /lit/ that often. I've only recently started to get into literature itself in the past months. I lurk here sometimes but I didn't think my thread was too inconveniencing for the others on the board. If this is just a stupid post in general, I'll just delete it.

No I mean you're typing a lot of words and all people can tell you is "yeah it sucks"
or if you're lucky one might call you an autist
that's about it

you like the idea of reading, not reading itself
