But these are stunning! Someone clearly sees the book as a potential bestseller as a YA novel and has splurged on some pretty, appealing art. I do really like the original covers too, they are what drew my attention to the book in the first place.

To answer your question, I do own some books with ugly covers, mostly because they were cheap or the only option. I even have wrapped one of them with paper to hide the picture, hoping I might draw my own cover someday. I guess there is a limit to how ugly the cover art can be, though, depending on how much I want to read/own the book itself and how expensive it is.
