While I agree that left cover looks better, it is fair to say that the person responsible for designing it either has not read the book or just did not care.

This. Most men pass the time playing vidya. But let’s be real, most women won’t actually read this book will buy it as a decoration piece and nothing more. It’s too big and daunting to read so they’ll instead stick with pop lit and YA type shit.

I'm 80 percent sure they must be intentionally awful. There's no such thing as bad publicity and all that

There's no way they can be that awful unintentionally. Right?

Wordsworth is a pleb filter, the people that actually read the books instead of spending their time looking at the cover get to have an entire book for $4, while the pseuds that would feel embarrassed carrying it in public or displaying it on their shelf miss out on an absolute bargain.
