Full-Picture Cover Images

While researching for my latest Jack Whitstone novel I couldn’t help but notice the difference between book covers with an image and words (title and author name) and those with only a single large image and no words. I have a visceral dislike for the wordless covers, because it takes a reader in a bookstore several more seconds to turn the book to its spine and get the information there. However, I have seen other covers that look fine without the text on the front cover.

What do you think, friends and readers? How do you like your covers?
