I own a copy of the "Bend Sinister" edition pictured here. Unfortunately, it's shoddy as hell--the cover's unbelievably stiff, the binding's weak, etc. It's one of those books that starts falling apart the second you crack it. Still, it does look dope.
Conroy, I'm one of those freaks who never cracks a spine, but I can see how cracking one of these editions would cause the book to fall apart. I like the stiff covers though -- I think it helped many of these 40+ year old editions survive in nice shape.
Thanks for sharing the TRP link. Have you come across any of the covers Leo and Diane Dillon did for the series? http://leo-and-diane-dillon.blogspot.com/search/label/Time%20Reading%20Program There could be more than this, but these are the only covers I've been able to find.
unknown initials BH is Brad Holland I Think.
ReplyDeleteWonderful thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight, being crushed under such a pile! ^___^
ReplyDeleteI second Pencil Squeezing, the BH cover reminds me of Brad Holland's penwork.

Gorgeous stack of books. I especially love the illustration on the Valery.
