"This day's experience, set in order, none of it left ragged or lying about, all of it gathered in like treasure and finished with, set aside." –Alice Munro, "What is Remembered"
I don’t much care for any of these covers from 1968 and 1969, but since I have yet to break out of the collector/completist mentality — and believe me, I’ve tried — here they are, scanned and posted for your “enjoyment”:
ABOVE: Lin Carter, Thongor at the End of Time (Paperback Library, 1968), with cover by Jeffrey Jones.
ABOVE: Robert Lory, Master of the Etrax (Dell, 1968), with cover by Jeffrey Jones.
ABOVE: Robert Moore Williams, Zanthar at Moon’s Madness (Lancer Books, 1968), with cover by Jeffrey Jones.
ABOVE: John Jakes, The Hybrid (Paperback Library, 1969), with cover by Jeffrey Jones.
To make up for the lacklustre art this time round, my next post will feature two covers by Jones from the early 1970s that I think are very strong, along with one that I have mixed feelings about, so stay tuned for that!
