“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” This is a common saying within the world of reading and literature. Book covers are very important when grabbing a reader’s attention. The book They say/I Say: The Moves That Mater in Academic Writing by Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein was a book that gabbed my attention at first sight. Graff/Birkenstein’s book has a very colorful front cover. Thinking blobs are yellow, orange, blue and green that are filled in with a quote, the authors and title. The back of the book also has these thinking bubbles but they are filled with reviews of people who have read this book. Graff and Birkenstein are the authors of this book who are also husband and wife, who both work at the University of Illinois. Gerald Graff
