My unironic submission. The classical statue illustrated in a decidedly modernist style set against the backdrop of a cartoonish set with the curtains dropping behind it is, perhaps, the best visual summation of a novel i've ever seen.

It's excellence only becomes apparent after reading the book which IMO is a good quality for a cover to have.

OK OP. I think Gatsby is a good, not a great, novel. But that cover is among the all-time greats. Truly a great work of design. Here is my vote. .

Books shouldn't have anything on their covers but plain white and the title.
