I was chatting with some girlfriends about how (despite what the old adage says), we usually do end up judging books by their covers.
That led us to talk about our biggest “icks” when it comes to book covers.
Personally, my biggest book cover turn offs are either books where the author’s name is bigger than the title, and any books with actual people pictured on the front. It feels oddly clinical to me, since I only ever see actual people in textbooks.

I don’t like romance novels with half naked models on the front because I’m embarrassed to read them in public
I’ve put off reading Shogun because every copy I looked at had the Hulu logo and a live-action character from the show on the cover.
