Never ever judge a book by its cover (literally and figuratively) as my folks used to say to me, but as a designer face value is one of the most important factors that I consider when buying a new book let alone the price. As a graphic designer and a lifetime slave of books I had my fair share of buying a beautiful book just for the cover and later regret my decision because the inside is quite disappointing.
Good thing is that the big publishers of classic books decided to redesign the look of the books. Other than the reason to reinvent the classics but also to introduce them to young readers.
