I agree. I'd say the Yellow House cover/booklet is my favorite of this year. (But I liked the album too.)

I also liked the art on Liars' Drum's Not Dead, Uusitalo's Tulenkantaja, Comets On Fire's Avatar, and Under Byen's Samme Stof Som Stof.

Not very creative, but:

1. The Hold Steady
2. J Dilla (donuts)
3. Girl Talk
4. Dixie Chicks
5. Yeah Yeah Yeahs

best covers

Mono - You are there
Thom Yorke - The eraser
The Flaming lips - at war with the mystics
Subtle - for hero - for fool
Bonnie Prince Billy - the letting go

All-time best covers: all the Hood covers

s/t, Brightblack Morning Light (comes with cool trippy rainbow glasses and the whole CD case is made from recycled material, kinda neat.)
The information, Beck (cool idea, make your own cover.)
The Greatest, Cat Power
Transparent Things, Fujiya & Miyagi
Ys, Joanna Newsom

The ones that come to mind are

The Wrecked Room "Sonic Youth"
Sno Angel Like You "Howe Gelb"
