Hi there, my name is Leo Otoiu and I am a Master's student in Publishing Studies. I am doing a survey on what science fiction readers think about a variety of science fiction covers (including hybrid forms of SF). If you would like to be a part of my survey, I'd be very grateful. Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSftYnLZJdb_-M53O-tDZ2MNVtgwgoa5YpFfK4tRd8MZOu2fsQ/viewform?usp=header

Done - that was fun.

I've read a few of these and I know some of the authors' other works - I noted those in my comments.

Personally, I like to browse the used book store and collect books from favorite authors. (Clarke, Asimov, Niven, Campbell( A.K.A. Hemry), and especially Heinlein) I do often grab books based only on their covers, and those will usually be 1960s or 70s books with a crazy spacecraft or a goofy alien on the cover.
