I judge books by their cover

So, every once in awhile I like going to the Orem Public Library and browsing their Spanish Lit. section. It's a pretty good collection. While browsing, I commit the cardinal sin of bibliophiles, judging books by their covers. So, while at the library this weekend, I found this gem.
