It’s not a good analogy. Fast food images show the sandwich, even if a better version of it. This isn’t always the case for books, for instance in the expanse series the authors stated they write the book and send it off and then the publisher picks an image which has little relation to the books plot and was solely chosen to look cool alongside the books name.
- mandmandam 3y agoI'm not a super fan, but searching for 'The Expanse book covers' looks about right to my eyes. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=the+expanse+book+covers&atb=v340-1&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=the+expanse+book+covers&atb... You see they're in space, you get the impression that there's ships, that it's gritty, that it's sci fi, etc. None of those images look a million miles from the tone of the series, much less outright misleading. If there are exceptions to that, then they're exceptions to a clear general rule; much like with fast food menu pics.
