Covers Mainpage

> Although many covers have no resemblance to any events described in the book, they are nonetheless examples of superb visual SF, and stand as artistic works unto themselves. And on those occasions when a cover does depict a scene from the book, and is done with the proper balance of the artist's own inventiveness and faithfulness to the text, a work of art is produced that both stands alone and complements the book it illustrates.
> Here are a few of my favorite book covers from my own A.E. van Vogt collection, each with its own short commentary on these fantastic works of art. A great many more covers can be seen at the main Book and Magazine Cover mainpage.
