It is the same as the other 3 books layout and size wise. I'm looking forward to seeing the back cover with the font and crocs on the back.
Again, such a brilliant cover. One of the very best.

That earlier advert was cool, but with that we would have completely lost the gold theme. This keeps the gold theme and gives us croc!
Gold is in the name though. You don't have to use it as a theme on the cover especially if you already did it for the hardcover. Goldfinger wasn't gold and that one had more to do with gold then this one did.

But I still like it. In fact, I think it's my favorite of the UK covers.

I'm guessing it's subject to change, but interesting to see Charlie's name is slightly larger than on the other covers. Could this be due to the fact he's now a "mega-selling" author?

I expect we will see some changes.
Hopefully not too many. This one seems to work well just as it is.

Did it look similar to the hardback or did it actually feature the normal paperback's croc?
EDIT: Looks like [dark] is assuming the same as me.

Kind of. Penguin Australia published their own paperback edition of Double or Die (which is virtually identical to the UK edition); I'd say they'll do the same when Hurricane Gold is released as a paperback.I wonder if this UK Hurricane Gold paperback version will be availabe in Australia, or would shipping be the best bet?

Penguin Australia have a picture of the cover. It looks a little different, may just be the angle

At best, from the looks of the hi-res shot, I'm thinking the cover is shiny or reflective of some sort (maybe like SilverFin) and it just doesn't scan very well.

Appears to be just that judging by the pic.
Kind of disappointing that it's going for that shiny gold once again. I thought that the cover art as we first saw it looked even better.
But I suppose it will be more fair to judge once the book is in my hands.
