Oh, I entirely agree about the Sharpe books. I found a copy of Sharpe's Eagle with the original cover once, which just looked weird.
I really dislike the "wrong" covers for Pratchett and Harry Potter - the adult ones just don't feel like the right books. Similar for the Tom Holts, the Robert Rankins, the Star Treks, and any number of others.
Sometimes I'll put off buying books until I can find one that matches the others in the set - took me *ages* to buy a copy of Blue Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson for exactly this reason.
