Unlocking Books discussion

What makes a book cover great? Tell me all about your favorite and why.

Or discuss the nuances of great cover art.

I came across an article on a YA book blog about book covers: http://www.yabookiemonster.com/2011/1...

I looked up some of the books here on goodreads, and sure enough, they do use the same photo in the covers. Sad. I feel sorry for the authors.

I wonder if the artists do this because they are out of ideas or if the publisher does this to get more sales, thinking that if one book cover caught the interest of buyers than buyers will be likely to buy its twin.

You are probably right about that.
