Look Here: Four more covers by Paul Lehr

**ABOVE:** Arthur C. Clarke, *The Deep Range* (New York: Signet, 1964), with cover by Paul Lehr.

**ABOVE:** Keith Laumer and Gorden R. Dickson, *Planet Run* (New York: Berkley, 1967), with cover by Paul Lehr.

**ABOVE:** John Brunner, *More Things in Heaven* (New York: Dell, 1973), with cover by Paul Lehr.

**ABOVE:** Keith Laumer, *Night of Delusions* (New York: Berkley, 1974), with cover by Paul Lehr.

The 1964 edition of The Deep Range by Arthur C. Clarke with the cover by Paul Lehr is a pretty cool find, I think. It’s a pity the artwork is obscured by the title, etc., but the book is in excellent condition, so it scanned fairly nicely, and of course, it is instructive to compare it with Lehr’s later covers, which, unlike The Deep Range, typically combine highly saturated colours with a strict adherence to traditional colour schemes.
