Wordsworth is bad by default but Modern Library is supposed to be a real publisher

They are doing it on purpose, look at my Wordsworths, the covers aren't bad at all.

woah I saw that cover lying around at my parents' house and didn't connect it to leviathan at all. I don't see how the two are logically connected at all but it definitely looks the same

The bad covers are only on certain more recent editions. Most of their books have the same "vaguely related old painting" cover choice as every other classics line

Yeah I just posted it for the funnies, but the connection is probably that Floyd is the embodiment of the American negro in the same way as the sovereign is.

haven't read it, but I like its colouring and constellation of shifted rings (rings like in a tree, but also referring to the title). the designer has done a good job.
