What do we prefer, the impressionistic Lynton Lamb dust jacket illustration, depicting a hazy woman with ghastly red blood dripping from her neck, or the sleek, stark John Farleigh illustrations that run throughout the book? Contrasting stylistically, they both work. The scarce dust jacket is now preserved in a removable, clear archival sleeve.
