its cover​

Answer 1

Answer:

The English idiom "don't judge a book by its cover" is a metamorphical phrase which means "you shouldn't prejudge the worth or value of something by its outward appearance alone". For example "That man may look very small and insignificant, but don't judge a book by its cover – he's a very powerful man in his circle".

If someone is looking for a book to buy and read, the first thing that will probably grab their attention is the cover of the book. Based solely on the cover, a person may decide whether a book is or is not for them. As a result, they may overlook a book simply because the cover appears plain or uninteresting to them. However, if the person would have opened the book up and look at what’s inside instead of overlooking it, they may have found it to be pretty interesting after all.

This expression is also applied to people. How so? Well, people are often judged based only upon their outward appearance. However, if one were to get to know the person and see what’s on the inside, ‘opening’ the person up, so to speak, then that one may be pleasantly surprised to find that the person is very different to how they imagined. Hence, this expression is used either as advice or a warning that a person should not judge other people or things simply by what they see on the outside.

The phrase goes back to at least the mid-19th century, as it is seen in the newspaper Piqua Democrat, June 1867:

“Don’t judge a book by its cover, see a man by his cloth, as there is often a good deal of solid worth and superior skill underneath a [???] jacket and yaller pants.”

The print in the newspaper I was looking at was really small and hard to read, but even so, I tried quoting it as accurately as I could. Regardless, there was enough clarity to make out the phrase for sure.
