..but the US edition, from Pantheon, is a very groovy thing indeed. (Click for a bigger version.)
UPDATE: Thanks to several commenters below, I can say that the second cover was designed by Chip Kidd, using artwork by Francois Robert--see more from his astonishing 'Stop the Violence' series here.
COMING TOMORROW: A combined interview with artist/writer Bob Fingerman and designer Peter Lutjen.

As a fellow book cover enthusiast and as someone who loves art in all it glory I would like to firstly thank you for your blog. Secondly, I can shed some light on the cover art of one of the covers: Francois Robert is an artist who has done some extraordinary work. A gallery of his work about violence can be seen here: http://francoisrobertphotography.com/#/portfolio/fine_art/stop_the_violence
Thanks!
I posted the cover on tumblr (the second one, of course), and a friend tracked down a Chip Kidd interview which includes it.
That second cover is creepy... Very cool!
yeah, chip did that bone gun cover.
Thanks for the info, everyone. I'll update the post accordingly.
