Cheers, it’s Friday! I adore these covers for the book Leviathan by Philip Hoare. Which do you like best?
Description from Goodreads:
From his childhood fascination with the gigantic models in London’s Natural History Museum to adult encounters with the wild animals themselves, Philip Hoare has been obsessed with these whales. Switching between human history and natural history, Leviathan is a gripping voyage of discovery into the heart of this obsession and the book that inspired it: Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. Taking us deep into the whale’s domain, Philip Hoare shows us these mysterious animals as they have never been before.
That first one’s the best. Super subtle.

I like that one a lot, too. The whale actually wraps around the book jacket: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MrLsHfUolgc/TNM9I2n5EoI/AAAAAAAAAIw/_Sh9LI8hyLE/s400/leviathan1.jpg
