From the (London) Times Online:
How judging a book by its ‘girlie’ cover is putting boys off reading.
I'm slightly embarrassed to say that I never saw this downside to the vibrant new book covers that have been appearing over the past few years. I knew there were a lot of girls who would automatically grab a book with a Barbie-pink cover, but I didn't think about all the boys who were alienated by those covers. Then again, I think Saffy's Angel would be a hard book to sell to a boy regardless.
