Copyright generally covers creative works rather than a person's appearance. What does exist is the right of publicity, which protects commercial use of your name and likeness, and it varies quite a bit by state.

If you've read the book you'd judge the book, not the cover — so the sentence quietly points out that a cover can only be assessed in hindsight.
