And this french idea goes all the way to omitting any kind of blurb. It's pretty shocking. There is no information whatsoever on the book itself beyond author, title - and publisher's name because that's important /s. ... The book may as well not be on the shelf.

Oh I would love for my covers not to be blighted by "New York Times Bestselling author" or "Now a popular <TV channel> show!" and the like. Keep the blurb on the back, but don't pollute the cover!
I buy a lot of used books and I can never bring myself to pick up one of those. I'd have to be desperate.
