‪Abstract photographic art used on a series of Isaac Asimov book covers in the late 1960s.‬ As a youngster I never got used to seeing these weird images in place of the usual epic Chris Foss spaceship scenes. But I really appreciate them now. It seemed back then books sold so well, particularly Asimov, that you could put any old thing on the cover and you’d sell a bunch more

I recently rediscovered in my book collection a 1973 copy of “Faeries” by Brian Froud and Alan Lee. Lee would go on to be a lead concept artist for the Lord of Rings and Hobbit movies.
