O'Reilly-published books often have an animal on the cover. I don't think they are picked for relevance to the topic (even most of the Python books don't have pythons!)

Well, that actually makes sense since Python derives its name from Monty Python and not the reptile.

There's usually some reference, but it can be a bit cryptic. All the Docker books have a whale.
