Book Cover Comparisons!

I find it interesting how many publishers release books with a different cover overseas. Usually it is simply a matter of the marketing departments thinking they know their national audience best, and want a custom-made cover to reflect those tastes. Perhaps because I am an American, I tend to like the lush, deeply layered covers typically found on the American versions.
