judging these books by their covers

Penguin Classics has recently changed the look of some literature stalwarts with, "... cover designs {have been} executed by some of today’s most beloved and respected, dare I say “hip,” graphic artists...". These covers actually look more like comic books or graphic novels than dusty prose, but the attractive nature of the covers has the possibility of drawing in more readers to such timeless classics as Lady Chatterley's Lover or The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.
Book cover art is itself a hobby, with collectors passionate as any other bibliophile.
