I wouldn't buy a book on the strength of either thing. That's when you pull out your Kindle and read something you want to read... or pull out your emergency book, which all serious readers carry about with them.

Title if I had to choose, but unlikely I'd get an unheard-of book without a blurb. *NM* - 18/06/2010 04:17:23 PM 298 Views
Why don't you people want to play? - 18/06/2010 04:19:21 PM 666 Views
Okay, so the Martians come down and make you pick between McDonald's and Burger King. - 18/06/2010 04:53:26 PM 628 Views
That is not a fair comparison - 18/06/2010 04:54:33 PM 604 Views
Yes it is. And you didn't answer my question. Why won't you just play the game? - 18/06/2010 10:57:24 PM 663 Views

Stop spelling it wrong! - 18/06/2010 11:15:29 PM 672 Views
I'm sorry. I don't often have reason to spell it. - 18/06/2010 11:16:42 PM 624 Views

Well, in that case - titles. *NM* - 20/06/2010 02:07:19 PM 293 Views
really you just never pick up a book ans say "what the hell I will read this one" - 18/06/2010 05:49:05 PM 724 Views
Very rarely, and only in the library if that. - 18/06/2010 05:54:48 PM 639 Views
I found one of my favorite writers that way - 18/06/2010 06:12:00 PM 669 Views
I agree. That was how I got hooked on fantasy. Sort of. - 18/06/2010 11:21:41 PM 643 Views
Maybe the scenario is hard to imagine but I have picked up some treasures by title alone. - 18/06/2010 11:16:17 PM 602 Views

No they don't. I have lost on several gambles. But I have had enough success that I keep trying. - 18/06/2010 11:24:09 PM 647 Views
Agreed. *NM* - 18/06/2010 11:25:10 PM 281 Views

Neither. I own too many books. - 18/06/2010 04:52:30 PM 643 Views
I would cheat. - 18/06/2010 05:37:29 PM 691 Views
But I buy Playboy for the articles! *NM* - 18/06/2010 08:02:52 PM 310 Views
Neither would be the determinant factor for me... - 18/06/2010 08:20:37 PM 731 Views

With nothing else to go on I'd say Title. *NM* - 18/06/2010 10:27:24 PM 271 Views
Cover - 19/06/2010 12:30:44 AM 686 Views
Fantasy books have notoriously bad covers. - 20/06/2010 07:51:31 AM 620 Views
What about opening sentence or paragraph? Why isn't that an option? *NM* - 20/06/2010 01:50:59 PM 279 Views
Because it is my survey - 20/06/2010 01:52:39 PM 656 Views
