We all know the saying: never judge a book by its cover. While book covers offer just a glimpse into the story, it would be unfair to assume they tell the entire story. Still, many books feature eye-catching designs that immediately grab your attention—and often, the story inside is just as compelling. Check out our list of covers that are hard to ignore!
