Book Cover Matching the Content

Fascinating discussion of how book covers can be wildly wrong / incorrectly giving an impression of the content within – using Lolita as example

it’s not only about book covers inaccurately portraying what the book is about (sex sells) but also how we think of young female sex victims.

Penguin Books uses a sexualized girl-doll cover for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Another inappropriate / mismatched cover-to-content?

:-) Ooh, bad/misleading/inappropriate covers = one of my hot buttons! Thanks for pointing to these.
