With thanks to eagle-eyed reader Peter Herpich, a trio of matching covers (all using Edward Hopper's 'Rooms by the Sea' (1951))...




[UPDATE: And avisannschild has found another...

    That photo is perfect for Gatsby, but the gigantic text nearly ruins it.

    Avisannschild: Thanks you! Well spotted! I've added it to the post.

    Craig: It's tricky, because it's the standard design for the Penguin Modern Classics series--though the arrangement of the photo, with the gap between the two heads into which the text neatly slots, does help.

    I just finished reading Rules of Civility - and one of my thoughts was that it owed a lot to Fitzgerald!
