I've been a fan of the penguin classics clothbound series for sometime, but never actually searched out the designer behind them. That designer is Coralie Bickford-Smith, and she has an amazingly unique, yet completely recognizable way of translating the contents of a book visually to it's cover.

They've just released 5 new titles (Emma, Lady Chatterly's Lover, Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, Treasure Island, and The Odyssey). There are 20 released so far.
