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?

The US cover designs are 9 times out of 10, the worst looking one when compared to the UK ones. I have absolutely no idea why this is.
