Has judging a book by its cover gone too far?
It's Nice That · Nov 26, 2025
The article by Olivia Hingley explores how social media and marketing trends have influenced contemporary book cover design, questioning whether visual appeal has overtaken literary substance.

The piece reflects on how these shifts affect both readers’ choices and the creative freedom of designers.
