Following nomination from @SannaFra, here is Day 1 of "7 days 7 books' covers", but with a comment. I read this as a child, and image of a vast, hidden and abandoned world beneath our feet has stayed with me ever since. I like the cover as well.

I'm supposed to nominate someone else but I'm pretty sure everyone else did this last year.

Day 2 of "7 days 7 books' covers": Charles van Onselen, 'Studies In The Social And Economic History Of The Witwatersrand, 1886-1914: New Nineveh'.
