Wolfe covers

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

The UK paperback covers for TWK are indeed awful, though at least they have
newly commissioned artwork, unlike Gollancz's one-volume New Sun, titled
"Severian of the Guild" and bearing the exact same mediocre cover artwork as
the older SF Masterworks edition of The Fifth Head of Cerberus! Not that
that cover looked any better on Fifth Head, but still the laziness is
appalling.

And then there's the *other* SF masterworks Fifth Head cover:

Anyone know if this alternate cover of AEG ever saw release anywhere? I
quite like it, even if it's not necessarily a perfect fit for the book it's
supposed to represent.
