Unless you knew about contents of a book prior to purchasing it, would you buy a book with a torn, faded, or even blank cover? I am betting you will say no. I know title would need to be very compelling to convince me to purchase. This is why it's important to have a professional design for your info product cover. On inside its content that matters. But to stimulate a sense of credibility, you need to 'tickle' visual appeal.
