Re - Movie Tie in Book Covers

Unlike most of you, I'm one of those who will watch a movie and then say, "I didn't know that was a book first!"  I know...a Sin...but as I mentioned in the first post, I'm not a book enthusiast.  I wish I was and maybe one day I will.  However, I don't like the book covers with the actors on it neither.  I think it cheapens the book and like someone else mentioned...now you only visualize the actor(s) when you read the book; instead of the luxury of your imagination.  I mean, isn't this one of the many signs of a good author...the ability to illustrate with words!



Case in point:  I did not read "The Help" but saw the movie first and fell in love with the movie.  Now,  if I decide to read the book, I'll be thinking of Viola Davis the whole way through.
