Not so much the book cover as so much the title. Just look at this horrific title... and it's such an amazing historical account of the software industry as well.

It's actually really fucking stupid because the book has very little to do with sonic the hedgehog (but substantially with airline reservations). It's just a fucking dumb title in general. When you see that, you're not going to think this is a good literature review for the software industry. This is a very academic work and it sounds like some fucking clickbait garbage.

The book itself was alright, it was a fairly standard intro textbook. But that damn cover.

>> No.5779609

Have you considered the fact that many books have multiple covers? Is the same book better or worse because of a different cover?

Letters to a Young Poet by Rilke consistently has pretty terrible covers and it's a damn fine book.

There's an entry here for Infinite Jest whose cover the author didn't like ("but there's no meteorology in the book") but I'm sure someone will shat on that. Derp.

Some of the covers for V. by Pynchon aren't my favorite and many of the early Delillo novel covers aren't great but those novels (Rattner Star, Great Jones Street, Americana, etc.) are solid.

I'm sure there are more.

this cover is based as fuck.

its just a collage of things that are in the book, its amazing
