Judge the book cover: Breakfast at Tiffany’s

I went looking to my own shelves for a book to read the other day and decided that I would finally read something that I’ve ignored for far too long: Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
I’ve seen the movie so many times but I’ve never read the book. That’s very unlike me.
I’m just about done with the novella and I think it’s a shame that many people will never read Truman Capote’s beautifully written story because they either don’t know it was a book first or because they don’t care.
Speaking as a huge fan of the film and now of the book as well, I think they can both can be appreciated individually.
No comparisons necessary.
But you should compare these book covers because, well, that’s what this post is about. I don’t own any of these versions. Mine is the 50th anniversary edition seen here.
Which Breakfast at Tiffany’s cover do you like best?

    I like the Penguin cover; it suits the era when the book was published.
