Book Covers and Store Shelves

"Chain and distributor buyers are completely uninterested in shelving
books in more than one part of the store... and in fact will be less
impressed by a cover that accurately represents the book's content than
by a cover that accurately represents the part of the store in which
their own prejudices—since, as a group, they're not themselves
readers—will place the particular widget."
