I prefer the UK version. It's trees (always a good thing in my book), and I swear there's some kind of subliminal message written in it, but damn my eyes if I can read it. The US cover will be good for paperbacks, though, and it will definately increase sells.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I would have to say I am partial to the american one and darn excited to see it in my hands. I would also have to say that I just found this forum and dont know anything but I thought I would start here. I like the cover.

I'm going to have so that that while I like them both (the Whelan one is unfathomably better than seeing another Sweet interpretation of Covenant with a hunched back and gaping mouth), I think I prefer the UK one. It just seems more...classy.
Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost, anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost.

But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
Full of the heavens and time.
