Outrageous cookbook covers

We all know the old saying, there’s no bad publicity – but is that true of cookbook covers? The Mercury News has compiled a list of 10 cookbooks that beg the question, “Would you buy this?” At the very least, you’ll notice them when browsing in a bookstore or at Amazon. But do they turn you off or turn you on? 

Or, as the News puts it, “You know the old adage, you can’t judge a book by its cover. But when it comes to cookbooks, we beg to differ. Sometimes that cover is the deciding factor in whether you grab the book off the shelf – or run screaming for the hills.”
