The inside, at least, was designed by Crimilda Pontes.

Here’s something a little different—and older—than I usually feature. But still very graphic and abstract cover in its own way. The back (second shot, detail) retains more of the gold stamping it originally had.

Cover design by George Sadek. This is the fourth printing (1971) of a 1961 edition, so not sure about the date of the design, but it’s probably earlier.

And how cool is the editor’s name?



Title page doesn’t really match, but I like the type:

This topic makes for interesting covers, I guess. Love the whacked-out color of this one. I think my favorite part is the spine, though. Book design by Dorothy Alden Smith (dunno if that means the cover, too.)

Diagonal type: Always a winner. Jacket designed by Bernie LaCasse.
