The Dick Covers – Ubik

Doubleday, 1969, First Edition

A time-traveling absurd novel with a lovely Peter Rauch cover. Don’t know who Peter Rauch is? I don’t either and you may think the cover is pretty hideous but let it simmer for awhile and see if that stretched Cooper Black doesn’t get your blood moving. Actually the greatest thing about this very plain cover is the profile of a man’s face in the spray. Hard to see thanks to my damaged copy but it’s there and it’s beautiful.
