Very good article from Creative Review - available to read here on the blog. Paul Buckley - the US art director for Penguin has chosen 75 classic covers and details how they were creative and the stories behind them - I would have thought this is required reading for FDA2 this term.
Includes the story behind this cover ( above ) - really clever, economic and evocative - which shows that a simple idea well presented works really well and does not need great technical skill to realise, but also that you need to really understand the book before you start to work.
