It is\nsupposedly an awful book, partly because of Wolfe's not yet mature style\nand bad editing, but I'd like a copy to make my Wolfe collection a bit\nmore complete. Hey, I actually liked \"Copperhead\", so maybe I'll be\nthrilled at anything that has Wolfe's name on it.\n\nAnother question of early Wolfe: why did the cover \"art\" for the\noriginal edition of PEACE suck? In his biographical sketch of Wolfe\nbefore \"The Death of Doctor Island\" in MODERN CLASSIC SHORT NOVELS OF\nSCIENCE FICTION, the editor (whose name I forget, I'm across the\nAtlantic from my library at the moment) blames the plain cover art for\nthe poor sales of PEACE. I could see how that could happen, the cover\nart looks like a generic bookcover a grade-school kid would put over a\ntextbook. Why would a publisher design a book so it wouldn't sell?\n\nThe ORB reissue of PEACE has an interesting error. The name of the cover\nartist on the back of the book is different than the name on the\ncopyright page.\n\nChristopher Culver\n\n---------------------------------------------------------\nChristopher R.
