Why it worked

The video taps into a common aesthetic preference within the booktok community, specifically the desire for visually appealing book covers. By presenting a clear "problem" (US vs. UK covers) and offering a "solution" (ordering from Blackwell's), the creator provides valuable, actionable information that resonates with their audience.

Summary

The creator discusses their preference for UK book covers over US ones, citing aesthetic appeal and a desire for a "prettier" cover. They demonstrate this preference using examples like "Yesteryear," "Lost Lambs," "The Things We Never Say," "I Want You to Be Happy," and "House of Sky and Breath" and "House of Earth and Blood." The creator also shares a hack for obtaining UK covers by ordering from Blackwell's, highlighting free shipping and no tariffs as additional benefits.

Transcript

I do judge a book by its cover, so I want you to judge these covers and let me know which one you think is better. Now, again, and then this one, and then this one. And if you chose the one on the left, the majority of the time, then you are with me because you prefer UK print covers versus the US ones. I can get the ones instead of the ones in the US because they're essentially just so much better. Essentially, I just go on this site. It ends up being the same price. I just want the prettier covers. It's like an extra dopamine hit for my reading pleasure to have the prettier cover. Even for, let me show you. UK cover of Intermezzo. I prefer it so much more than the US yellow one. If you're a Sarah J. Maas girl, you know these covers very well. They just never made sense to me. This is the UK one. This is the UK one to me. This makes more sense than this cover. Like it's a little wolf and I don't know who this is. Is it Bryce? But also like that it's more petite. UK covers just have it in the bag and that's just something I personally really like to do. So I want to put you on if you also prefer if you also prefer.
