What about different editions where some have painted covers, some have photos of people, and some have nothing/other? Do you check to see if there's an edition out there with a photo or does it not matter as long as the copy you have has a painting?

Not the OP, but I go to a lot of trouble to buy the editions with moody or painted covers and not the nasty photo ones which kill any sense of fantasy for me every time I pick the book up to read it.

It matters a surprising amount, especially in a novel with a lot of worldbuilding.

That makes me think of Harry Potter. There are the editions with the painted covers and blocks of bright background colour and then there's the editions with dark, photographic covers, usually of objects relevant to the book's plot (a picture of a dark island fortress for PoA, a goblet of blue fire for GoF).

At one point when the books were first released the matter of the different covers came up when I was putting in my preorder. I went for the bright "children's" cover because the books I already had those covers and I wanted my set to match each other.
