I pretty much agree with The_Jazz. The appearance of a book doesn't determine whether or not I'll be interested in it, but it sure helps to grab my attention initially. A good title also helps in this regard. As for actually making a purchasing decision, the synopsis plays a role, but I also tend to flip through the book to get a feel for it as well.
