Is it as bizarre as this? I remember the cover from this book so well. Most covers are generic because our age is becoming increasingly corporate and generic. Cover illustrations are mostly bland nowadays......Why?<br />I read the book 30 or so years ago and remember really liking it.<br />It was discouraging to enter a link that had this illustration as an example of a bad book cover. Thom's Bad Book Covers blog, I think it was called. People celebrate badness for so long they become blind to really exciting book covers like this.<br />It was a pleasure to read a book with this fun cover art. It's insane in a very good way.
