The best -- and sometimes the worst -- of book cover design

Among Other Things, I've Taken Up Smoking (hardcover and paperback)
It's a shame that Paul Sahre's lovely work for the hardcover (top) of Aoibheann Sweeney’s debut novel (review here) didn't make it to the paperback (bottom).
Oooh that´s a shame, I actually bought it because of the cover (but read and the novel is very good). Sahre´s cover is beautifully strange and spacious, and illustrates very well the themes in the book. The paperback cover doesn´t accomplish that - looks like the designer only cared to read the book title:)
I only the saw the top half of the hardcover, and I was going to launch into a rant on how vertically-flipped photos are horribly overdone right now, but then I scrolled down and realized the cover actually does a nice job of showing the New York/Maine dichotomy of the novel.
