Sorry to be a party pooper but it seems many people in this thread don't really understand how Penguin Classics are designed. The covers use art contemporary to the novel. Photographs are not generally used unless it is of a sculpture or another form of art. Modern Classics however, pretty much anything goes.

I think the thread has gone wrong. The last 5 or 10 books could actually be Penguin Modern Classics (sort of). The whole point is absolute trash, like Katie Price's 'auto'biography, or Twilight.
