Do you pick a book by its cover?...Buy a bottle of wine by its label? I often do, and, often, the choice turns out to be a good one.
I selected The Dog Who Came to Stay from its spine picture just by browsing the stacks at PV library. I'm not really a dog person even though we have a dog, but reading this 1961 novel/memoir was wonderful and I gained a lot of insight into what it really means to be a dog "owner".
The wine had the best label I've seen in a long time...but I gave the bottle away so I'll have to let you know if it lives up to its label in the near future.
