As an extreme case, I judge books before I even see their spines. I judge books by their location in the bookstore and don't even walk into the aisle to catch a glimpse of the spine. Maybe somewhere in the "Romance" section of the bookstore there's a book that would really appeal to me, but I'll never see it. Sometimes I even judge an entire store-ful of books without looking at 'em. I've already judged the entire contents of my local "Anarchist Bookstore" without setting foot inside the place. There's thousands of bookstores in China that I've never even seen, and I know I won't enjoy the books inside them. Look at me, I'm dismissing billions of books that I have never seen and will never see, simply because I suspect they're probably written in languages I don't understand! Anyway, if I ever get to the point where I'm judging a book by actually looking at its cover then that book is already getting way more scrutiny from me than most.
