I don't especially love the covers, but I think the UK editions of Robin Hobb's books are quite nice for fantasy novels. The art isn't amazing, but I like the single, simple animal image rather than splashy artwork of wizards and dragons and knights fighting and posing all over the cover. Same for ASOIAF (though when I got my secondhand copy of AGOT for £3 with postage, I grumbled because instead of the nice simple covers I'd seen in shops, I got one with fantasy artwork all over it. Turns out it was a rare UK first edition that I'd received for less than the cost of posting the damn thing, so I stopped complaining after that)
