Some nice ones there, actually, but also good to see Penguin choose some less-obvious ones alongside the predictable (Tender, Big Sleep, Triffids, especially).
To my mind, James P. Keenan's cover for 'The Man in the High Castle' is definitely one of the best http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/19/PKD-high_castle-penguinclassics.jpg
It made me buy a copy at least.
