Can you judge a book by its cover?

I've notice a trend lately to reprint classics with "chick-lit-y" cover art. It's horrendous!

That's probably to try and get the teen market interested in it. I seem to remember someone pasting a while back about their daughter buying one or something.

That was me!  We bought Pride and Prejudice and um, something else because of the girly covers and both teens admitted that they wouldn't have read them with the dreary classic cover. 

The eighteen year old has now moved on to reading the cheap Penguin classics withthe plain Penguin covers, which is a coolness thing I think.
