When he received the advance copies he told his Spanish-language publisher “the dust jacket is horrendous, but as soon as you toss it in the trash the rest is a wonder of a book.” <BR/><BR/>Although as far as I can remember Salter didn't design any other jackets for Cortázar titles, his general concept was recycled for 62: A Model Kit, which was designed by someone else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
