Today, I judged books by their covers.
They were categorized in broad categories in piles and with 2 kids in tow, I had not much time to browse.
The word "bicycle" on the cover? Grab.
Terry Pratchett? No brainer. Grab.
Jim Butcher / Dresden? Grab.
Grabbed John Saul for the wife.
Grabbed a book with a nice, red cover. No idea what's in it.
...and a couple more I'm sure I won't get around to reading.
But hey, $2 a book!
