Yes, my favourite novel is freakin' Ivanhoe, got a problem with that? Yet few covers seem to do it justice.

Really? Maybe I just like Frank Miller too much, but this is one of my favourite editions of anything ever.

Not my favourite text but perhaps my favourite cover, it just suits the book so well.
Shame that it gets you some weird stares

Stop saying minimalist as if 'blank' is all it takes to be minimalist. 'Blank' is bullshit.

Erm... I posted a non-blank cover... Did you even look at my picture? When I think minimalist I think the use of simple icons or symbols that may represent a certain major aspect of the book or simple imagetic that's associated with it.

Dude, that one is a simple remake of the first edition cover, dating back to 1969 (pic related). The Starship Troopers cover I posted is also a first edition, from 1957.
