# Best and Worst Covers of 2012 (From Englewood Review of Books)

[![Worst Book Covers of 2012](https://bookwi.se/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/51b92xpuKYL-199x300.jpg)](http://erb.kingdomnow.org/worst-christian-book-covers-of-2012/)*Number 10 on the worst book covers of 2012 list.*

In all of the best and worst book lists that I keep reading, Englewood Review of Books is the first that I have seen to do a Best and Worst Book Covers. We all know that you are not supposed to pick a book by its cover, but the reality is that I pick many books by their covers. It is the biggest weakness of self published books. Covers are probably the most important things other than the actual content. But clearly many publishers and authors lack design skill.

The [worst list](http://erb.kingdomnow.org/worst-christian-book-covers-of-2012/) is the most fun (and includes some commentary) but check out the [best list](http://erb.kingdomnow.org/best-book-covers-of-2012/) as well.
