Airport Books Get Special Cover Consideration
"Publishers, especially the purveyors of what some derisively refer to as 'airport books,' actually want you to judge their books by the covers. They've arranged the jackets with that very plan in mind... Imagery, fonts, type sizes and color palette conspire to telegraph whether the stuff inside is concerned with code-crackers and shoe phones, spirits and trapdoors or rich widows and pool boys."
