    Strongly agree. The cover of the proof of From a Buick 8 is vastly superior to the trade cover. I don't know why they changed it.

    I think I'm one of the few, or maybe the only one who likes those covers. Sure, the proof cover is way more detailed and I like it, but I still like the simpler style of those two. Without comparing them, they have a simplicity to them that I like.
    I don't know what you guys are talking about. I love the dj art on the UK From A Buick 8.

    It's an old topic and an old joke.....hence Paul saying "I knew that was coming." I'm just trying to live up to the "jerk" moniker that Jon laid on me in another thread the other day.

    Actually it is a proof dust jacket that was sent out prior to publication on a review copy of the novel. I bought it from a dealer in the UK on ABE and have never seen another.

    O.K. Now I understand....
    Spoiler:


    By the way...I do think it is a BETTER cover.

    That cover actually became the cover for the Paperback:

    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    You have a AWESOME collection, Simon. A beautiful library to wash the eyes.
    I can see some space there, at the end of the 2nd shelf below the ceiling, for the small green King-related piece... lol. You get my point. A suitable ornament for your library.
