"Don't judge a book by its cover." is a bad idiom, because bookcovers are desinged to represent the content of the book. (lemmy.world)

It’s not though. Books can, but don’t always, misrepresent themselves on the cover. Just like people.

It’s not saying that book covers always lie, it’s saying that you shouldn’t take everything at face value and you should think for yourself.
