first edition, 1967, harcourt, brace & world, new york
jacket design by james and ruth mccrea
another book chosen for its cover. i love the graphics of this cover. true genius. apparently the book is of the adventure/suspense category. which i would not have surmised by the cover alone. the cover makes me think
heart of darkness or
the island of dr. moreau (on second thought i suppose these are adventure/suspense.) i'm also reminded of
gauguin, although more for the
tahitian vibe rather than a likeness of style. i'm definitely keeping this one around for inspiration. james and ruth mccrea have illustrated tons. see more
