What a fascinating discussion about the Czech words, you’re right, I don’t think there’s an English word which conveys what the Czech ones do.
That’s a gorgeous book cover, and Ghoulia looks rightly proud of her book smarts.
There’s an English saying “don’t judge a book by its cover” (usually meaning don’t judge things on their appearance, but on what’s inside). There are plenty of books in our library that we’ve picked up because the cover has interested me. Fortunately, the insides have also interested me, so they’ve stayed.
This would be a book I would pick up in a book shop if I saw it because of the interesting cover.
