> Don Maitz is the artist in question

And one way to get in touch with him is through Wolfe's editor, David
Hartwell, now at Tor. You could write, but the NYRSF has a website
maintained by Hartwell's wife, and that would be easier. Easier still this
seems to be his own website:

I agree that's probably the set Mike wants, but I should point out that
there are others: I have an Arrow edition from around 1987 with
(unexciting) covers by one Peter Andrew Jones. There was also an earlier
edition (not sure if this was also by Arrow) with rather nice covers by
(I think) Bruce Pennington.

Best,
