I know I just did a cover comparison post with my "Dracu-lot of Covers" but as I was cataloging my recent reread of one of my very favorite books, I couldn't help but notice some totally adorable artwork over on LibraryThing for Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair. This cover holds a special place in my heart since it first caught my eye at a used bookstore circa 2004:
It may be my favorite cover for largely sentimental reasons, but here's a few more I think are fun:
And there are some creative foreign language covers that I think are pretty cool too:
Do you have a favorite of these Jasper Fforde covers? What catches your eye most: colorful cars, cloned dodo birds, books on book covers?A Weekend to ReCOVER is a monthly (or so) feature hosted by Her Book Self that is all about discussing eye catching covers and bookish artwork.

These are some striking covers. Not having read the book, I would draw different conclusions about what the book is about depending on which cover I saw first. My favorites are the first one, the Italian one and the Korean one.
