Great book covers

What are your favourite book covers?

I love the current covers in the Vintage Classics range.

I love the covers in this style for the Gormenghast books.

I know one shouldn't judge a book by its cover but that doesn't mean one can't appreciate a nice cover.

I've got a real thing for the old Penguin covers, the orange and white ones.

Also there was a recent run from someone where the cove art was done by tattooists - they were very nice.

Ah crap! i should've posted these http://www.eurogamer.net/forum/thread/255775 in here last night. Maybe an helpful moderator could move them?

I love this cover too. Still waiting for Spielberg to finish the film.

This is what started me off on the path of James Herbert, then Stephen King. Great cover. Can't remember the stories, but I do remember when I read them way back when, thinking that they were a bit tame compared to Hammer House of Horrors.
