Hawkes, John , 1979
Harper & Row
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780060118082
This novel presents Konrad Vost, the ferociously repressed father of a teenaged daughter whose “appalling womanhood” he refuses to recognize. For this first edition’s jacket, Fred chose to depict a flirtatious but surprisingly hollow Eros.

Farrar, Straus & Giroux
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780374124830
A new twist on life as a suburban housewife is examined here, Fred’s title does a clean sweep of the house in an unexpected fashion. Note the slender shadow, cast by the type, that falls subtly onto the floor.

Summit Books
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780671524890
Book-jacket-wise, Fred felt that sometimes less was more. This author, a professor of sociology, firmly planted in the world of science, took a sabbatical to Jerusalem in an attempt to gain a greater understanding of his roots. In doing so, he found a link to the historical past that surprised and deeply moved him.

Collier Books
Reissue, Paperback
ISBN: 9780020518105

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780151699216
Set in Trinidad, the novel brutally satirizes the island's racial caste system and the entire social hierarchy the British had put in place prior to independence in the 1960s. For the first edition jacket, Fred presented a witty interpretation of the main character’s Exodus.

Farrar, Straus & Giroux
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780374201258

-
Hijuelos, Oscar , 1993
Farrar, Straus & Giroux
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780374158156
The title’s fourteen sisters (there's also one son) are the offspring of immigrants, an Irish man (a photographer), and his Cuban wife. It's a sprawling tale covering generations. This might be the last book jacket that Fred ever designed, following his award-winning cover for the author's previous success “Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love.”
-
Hill, Archie , 1977
Simon & Schuster
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780671228453

-
Hitching, Francis , 1978
Anchor Press
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780385121255
We have serious doubts that Fred ever read this one. The author believes that evolution is directed by some sort of cosmic force. Best to just create an airbrushed illustration of a traditional water-divining apparatus and call it a day.
-
Hoban, Russell , 1983
Summit Books
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780671479275
This strange, metaphysical novel details the mental meanderings of a man who is hospitalized for having a “skewed hypotenuse.” In it, words have alternate meanings, and objects talk. The ancient helmet depicted might be the patient’s partner in conversation, or his own portrait.

Hobhouse, Janet , 1983
Random House
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780394529400
Modern relationships in the glitter of Manhattan society are explored in this novel. Interesting to note, that in spite of “the dark” in the title, Fred chose to place his dancer in a dusty light panel, hard to see, but there.
-
Hoffman, Alice , 1987
G. P. Putnam's Sons
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780399132827
The book’s title refers to an annual celebration on Martha’s Vineyard, in which hundreds of Japanese lanterns are set to glowing in a park. It provides the setting for this novel, which involves the mundane details of life, while managing to elevate them with mythic forcefulness, much like Fred’s illustration.
-
Hoffman, Alice , 1990
G. P. Putnam's Sons
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780399135354
Perhaps the houses in this Long Island suburb looked pretty much alike in the 1950s, but one, no doubt set apart by that lighted window in Fred’s first edition cover art, was entirely different. The reason? It was occupied by a shockingly progressive divorcée named Nora Silk.
-
Hoffman, Alice , 1988
G. P. Putnam's Sons
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780399133671
A poignant tale of a loving, resilient New England family fighting to keep their eleven-year-old gifted daughter—stricken with AIDS—in school and to preserve their family bonds in the face of tragedy. Fred’s empty picture frame tells it all.

Hoffman, Alice , 1985
G. P. Putnam's Sons
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780399130564
Fred’s first edition jacket gently echoes the words of the New York Times reviewer: “The novel is mainly concerned with tremendous events, with childbirth and the loss of children... with enduring love and devastating infatuation.”
-
Hogan, James C., 1979
Anchor Press
First Edition, Paperback
ISBN: 9780385145190
The book’s title is very straightforward, and so is Fred’s cover. This is a highly respected discourse on the subject at hand, reportedly based on a new and improved translation. Similarly, Fred was able to breathe new life into a traditional depiction from ancient iconography with his bold design.
-
Holdstock, Robert P., 1977
Doubleday Books
First Edition, Hardcover
ISBN: 9780385126816
Eerily relevant, this science fiction tale presents us with an Earth nearly wiped out by a pandemic, and the search by survivors for other habitable planets. On occasion, Fred chose all-type solutions, but always with a twist. Here the illustrative elements hint at vast distances and the unknown.

Holt, Elizabeth Gilmore, 1979
Anchor Press
First Edition, Paperback
ISBN: 9780385135115
The status of the artist was forever changed by the French Revolution, as is revealed in this collection of documents published between 1785 and 1848. Painters and sculptors were no longer subject to the dictates of patronage. Fred’s illustration expresses this breath of fresh air.
