I also have a copy of the US cover, with a nice paper cut-out 3D effect, by artist Julie Morstad and designer Allison Saltzman.
This seems an opportune time to showcase some of the other design work by Saltzman, who has an extensive portfolio of wonderful cover designs...
..as well as more gorgeous work by Morstad, who has illustrated several children's books, along with other work.

That Fowles cover is amazing. I don't think I've ever read it, and I thought that I had read everything by Fowles
As is appropriate for a memoir by a jazz singer, the Jonathan Schwartz cover 'refers' (I suppose the word is) to the cover for the Tina Brooks album "True Blue." Given the talent involved, one assumes that it's a case of happily acknowledged appropriation.

That Gauld cover is wonderful. Too bad I'd have to pay trans-Atlantic shipping to get that edition here in the U.S.
Matthew: It was unfamiliar to me, too, and it's such a good cover.
Tulkinghorn, thanks for that--it looked Blue Note-y, but I didn't catch the specific reference.
Pete: You might try www.bookdepository.co.uk as they charge no postage.
