pattinase (abbott) berkata...: Interesting to note that on some the nicest covers the title doesn't pop the way it should. I do like THE THIN MAN there.; 9:04 PG
Todd Mason berkata...: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/0060394366/ref=dp_otherviews_0?ie=UTF8&s=books&img=0; 9:40 PG

Or see the hotlink. The Dillons are not quite the polar opposites of Robert McGinnis, but danm.

pattinase (abbott) berkata...: Delightful. Fantasy, horror and science fiction make for a larger pallet.; 10:03 PG
Todd Mason berkata...: And Diane (odd typo, but not alas rare for me) and Leo Dillon didn't restrict themselves thus. They are multiple Caldecott winners.

Jack Gaughan, from the first issue of GALAXY I owned (his work for the magazine in its handsomest period, 1970-1972, is stellar):

C. Margery Kempe berkata...: Well, I love love love my latest cover, but I have to say one of my all time faves is the Hound of the Baskervilles I gave to my pal Stephanie, the Holmes-o-phile. I have to scan the rest of my pulpy paperbacks before I get rid of them. There are some lovely covers.; 10:30 PG
Charles Gramlich berkata...: Most of my favorites are old SF covers from the 50s and 60s. Great old silver rockets and folks in space suits.; 11:50 PG

Erik Donald France berkata...: One Night With Nora looks good to me. They're all pretty cool, though.

I like some of the old Daw covers -- Games Psyborgs Play, for instance. Pierr Barbet.; 7:40 PTG
