How much does a book cover influence you or turn you off??

How much does a cover influence whether or not you buy a book? If you're heard it's a good book, but you don't care for the cover, will you still buy it? Unfortunately, many times my answer is "NO". I have to like the cover at least some or I'll put the book down and choose another.

If I like the cover, I'll proceed to the back and read the blurbs. If I like what I see, I'll open and read the first page. Sometime I feel an immediate click and know I want that books. Other times, I waver and flick to a few other pages, not reading them entirely, just kind of checking.

I can't say that I buy books from reviews, but I have from word of mouth, or if it's by an author I like.

These are some steps to choosing a books :
1. Look at book cover
2. Read blurb on back cover
3. Read first page for book
4. Go to middle of book to see if story will flowing
5. Go to cash register if all the above are met.

Happy Reading!!!!!!
