fyi

the lips were originally sideways in that cover

but they changed it because it looked to vaginal

I don't know why. Anyone offended by what almost looks like a vagina on the cover would have an aneurysm if they actually read the book.

That's good, but for some reason I'm attracted to these vintage covers. I get all my Dick in these editions just for the covers. They get a lot of hate for begin ugly but I like them.

Same here. I admit that the SF Classics version of VALIS has a pretty nice, albeit irrelevant, cover. Given the choice, however, I'd go for this edition.

>SF Classics

Sorry, that should be 'SF Masterworks'.

>> No.1094454

>>1094446
The reason I don't like those is because of the intrusive SF Masterworks line and logo on the front. The construction of the paperback is also lower quality than the vintage editions, albeit for a slightly lower price.

Something about this cover is just perfect to me. I think it's the combination of the scrawling font that the title is written in and the empty, desolate landscape in the photograph.
