If there had been more in a similar vein, I’d have bought them too. But there weren’t, so I didn’t.

My goodness, those are all stunning. I’m especially smitten with the cover to Station Wagon in Spain!

I like the Station Wagon in Spain cover the best, too.
Sorry I don’t have any info about the artist. But judging by the composition and the technique, it could easily be Bernie Fuchs.
There are other possibilities, of course.
Also, I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

The cover for the James Baldwin book “Going to Meet the Man” shows an artist’s signature but I cannot read it from your scan. It is on the left border of the art. Maybe you can read it from the actual book.
I love your site.

If memory serves, Greg, I puzzled over that signature for some time, back when I scanned that cover. I couldn’t decipher it then, I could’t find any info via google, and I still have no idea.
But thanks so much for taking the time to post a comment.
