[tps_header]We know that\u2019s on the inside that counts. So it is with books. But what about getting the best of both worlds? The outside catches your attention, that scientifically proven. Some book covers<\/strong> can lead you to choose a book above all else. But why? Why do some\u00a0covers<\/strong> have that effect on us? I prefer that the interiors contain answers and the book covers ask questions.<\/p>\n
