Nice and simple. This is the seventh printing (1979) but I assume this design by Brian Denyer was actually done in 1968 when this edition first came out.

Amazing geometric illustration. And another super-simple back. (Love the Bard logo, too.)

Pink and red again! Or pink and orange? And more Univers, too.

I love the big block of text on the front. Can’t imagine getting away with that today. Or with how little is going on on the back!
