Misleading book covers

[James "End-To-End" Benton]

I wonder if you have ever been book shopping, and been put off by a book's cover or spine. Don't be embarrassed, we all do it. But next time you avert your eyes from something that looks rubbish, remember that it might not be rubbish at all: maybe the designer just couldn't be bothered to read the thing, and got the wrong impression of what was needed. I'd like the teams to share examples of misleading book covers, starting with these celebrity memoirs....
