The 1963 Penguin edition looks similar to the Russian cover you linked to in coloring and style, but has the title on the right and drawing on the left.

About: Description of Babylonian, Assyrian and/or Sumerian mythology.
Paperback, it had one of those Dover Books-like bindings and may even have actually been a Dover book but if so they no longer publish it, I checked.
The cover was bright blue and on the left-hand side was the title, and on the right-hand side facing the title was a line drawing of one of the deities (poss. Marduk, or Enlil) facing the title.
This sounds very much like S.H. Hooke's Middle Eastern Mythology, but I could not find an edition of that book with the cover I remember. The closest I came was this, but my copy was in English, not Russian. So I guess my question is: was an edition of this book in English ever published with that cover?
I had just started to read it. I lent it to a friend and never got it back.
