Author of "Hacking Healthcare" here. Myself and Fred were able to contribute to the discussions on our cover selection. I suspect some animals are probably much more in demand than others. Our editor was Andy Oram and he was outstanding. He is no longer with O'Reilly unfortunately. Having worked with different publishers in different contexts, 90% of your experience will be as a result of your relationship with your editor. I get asked sometimes by new authors, should I write for X or Y or Z. My answer is to always try and see who your editor will be and how well you think you can work with them.
