Saul Bellow doesn’t get read as much these days as he once did, but back in the mid-20th century, he was considered to be one of the, if not THE, all-time heavyweights of modern American literature.

Books like this were published pretty steadily by the highbrow private and University presses from the ‘50s to the ‘70s. Needless to say, many of them looked pretty good, regardless of one’s opinion of Bellow.

This particular specimen is from Indiana University Press, 1968. Designed by Guy Fleming.
