At least it's a paperback and not a super-deluxe leatherbound limited edition :)

More seriously, this puts Pterry into the company of people like William Faulkner, Marcel Proust, and other perpetrators of Literature. I wonder what he would have said.

The cover doesn't work for me at all. Otherwise this is definitely an interesting development.

>5 SF-72: Cover has to fit the Penguin Modern Classics aesthetic. Paul Kidby definitely wouldn't do that.

My copy arrived today. The cover is part of Rembrandt's "The Night Watch".
