I have a thing against buying books with movie covers - I love the original artwork so much more. However, if the cover had Tobey Maguire on it - I may bend my rule. Swoon. 52books: Do I buy a book with a movie cover? Do I want to keep looking at Toby Maguire? Do I spend the $2? Do I go with the better cover for more money?Do I feel ridiculous for even asking these questions?
