Don't judge a book by its cover
The phrase first appeared in 1929 in the journal American Speech as "you can't judge a book by its binding." In 1946 the phrase appeared in the murder mystery novel Murder in the Glass Room (by Edwin Rolfe and Lester Fuller) as "you can never tell a book by its cover." [information from wikipedia] |
