Unwin -> Harper Collins have always been remarkably deferential to Tolkien pere et fils in the matter of book covers. Most publishers never consult the authors and don't give a fig what they think. Certainly that has always been the case with Ballantine/Del Ray (who are a sublicensee of a sublicensee).
Remember what Capitol Records did with the Beatles?
