Headless seems to be all the rage nowadays. There are some really beautiful covers created that way and most of them seem to be taken from portraits which, perhaps, would be very expensive to reproduce in full.
In the days since photography, that might be less of a problem (though copyright owners charge a fortune, sometimes, to use their photos!)
