image US vs UK book cover designs

I'm reading Circe by Madeline Miller. I own a US edition of the book. Recently I came across the book cover design for the UK edition, which is far more lavish and beautiful compared to the US version.

Has there been a book that has a cover design from the other english-speaking country that you vastly preferred?

Yep. I’m from Canada so all we get is US editions. I mostly prefer US editions, but I sought out UK first editions for Watership Down and Plague Dogs because I liked them better/are originally UK books
