As mentioned previously that this was coming... what's your favorite foreign edition cover for a Tolkien book?

Personally, having a hard time picking again. I really do like Tove Jansson's cover shown here:
If you are not familiar with foreign editions, most Hobbit covers appear at Henk's website
http://hobbithunter.nl/ or here in the Guide section. Browse around!

From a UK perspective, my favourite foreign edition cover is this one

There are so so many great ones. I really like this Czech cover.

I suppose I could choose any number of copies that just have alternative covers to UK editions e.g. most modern non-UK copies of The Silmarillion have a different Ted Nasmith cover which sometimes works better. But I do like more design orientated covers like the two H's below; one Czech, one Swedish.

I almost chose that German cover... I love those colours.

I saw it at the Greisinger museum and knew it was the one.
