It's truth and people should tell each other these things more often.

random question: do any of you ever buy books not because you like the author, but because you like the illustrator?

YEs. Brief answer, but some illustrations are too good to pass up...

Okay, I'm kind of glad to learn I'm not alone in that.
(It's funny, a page-sized print of this kind of art, on a card or similar would cost sometimes just as much as purchasing a whole book of beautiful art. I don't understand that, but I do buy the books!)

When I buy books, they would have to have pleasing covers (preferably without 'humans') so that they'd catch my eye then I'd read the summary (or something) at the back.
I don't really ... care ... who the author is XP

I've never bought a book for the illustrator. But I don't even like art books- They're beautiful, but if I buy art, I want to be able to display it.

I have a few "How to Draw" books. They're helpful at times.

I'm a trustworthy and loyal member. Even if I go AWOL for a while, fear not, I always come back.
Would you want a specific item?

*Good or Evil Eyes
*Puppet Strings Ruffle Jacket (Black)
How many items do you want? How ever many you'd like to give.
Would you like a newbie starter pack? No thanx. I'm not a newbie so I don't feel entitled anyway.

What attracts me to a book is a gripping title, a pleasing cover image and an intriguing back cover synopsis. Most of the books I read don't even contain illustrations among the text. The last one I read that did was the final Harry Potter novel and before that was the children's books I'd read as a child.
