Best chess book cover
Sort:
A bit sinister...
What a cheerful chappy that pawn is! 
Why is he squatting?
Is he a pawn? Or are we actually witnessing an act of pawn promotion live?
"Potpuno" - isn't that a bad word?
Hm..."high deep discharge." Yeah, doesn't sound good.

Doesn't seem like it. By chance, I borrowed a beginners book in Serbian today. Looked it up in the vocabulary section and it seems to mean "complete". So perhaps, something like a "completely new edition" perhaps??
I like the shadow of the pawn on the cover of 1 b4 by Konikowski and Soszynski.

In general, I think Gambit books have had the best covers. One of my favorites:

I found a chess guide by Serbian grandmaster Svetozar Gligorić in my local library. It has the best book cover ever.
For me it is the one with a GENIUS and a DREAM Chess Set !
