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.

This Devil in a Forest cover is excellent. The sort of thing I'd like for The Knight.

Did you by any chance get and/or read these versions when they came out in the (I presume) 80s?  I just wonder if that helps give a certain sentimental/nostalgic value (which I would completely understand).

A few at least are better than the standard ones we see over and over again:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/hoofandhide/.  The non-English versions from about page 4 onward are generally FAR better than the English versions.
