Comments:
Although masterfully done, this jacket is surprising to anyone familiar with Fred’s work. At that early stage of his book cover career, all publishers wanted “the big book look,” meaning huge type and a small descriptive illustration. Subsequently, he spent many years combating that formula, but for this one, he appears to have delivered.
