I'm really starting to depend on these list of links you post here. Thanks.

Admittedly, many memorable non-contemporary covers (e.g., Eigner's On My Eyes, Mayer's Studying Hunger, Lamantia's Narcotica are on books that scarce and expensive, so maybe folks haven't seen them. Still, I call a penalty on those who focus on the now.
Your link "Adam Fieled on Jordan Stempleman" goes to a NYT article "After Frida, By ARTHUR LUBOW,
Published: March 23, 2008". Unintended I'm sure.
Cheers,
Frank
Actually, in the post that I launched this discussion with, here:
http://garysullivan.blogspot.com/2008/03/what-is-your-book-cover-trying-to-tell.html
I include several older covers, and discuss a number of things not scanned in. I also mention (and show) a number of other things, including stuff published by City Lights and New Directions.
I was in Buffalo this weekend, but will return to the cover discussion this week, and do plan to do a bit of back-tracking to include more older things ...
That said, I haven't seen Eigner's On My Eyes ... would love to take a look if you can scan and post somewhere.
Gary Sullivan
I stand (sit) corrected.
I'll send you a scan of the Eigner as soon as I'm able -- later this week, most likely, as the scanner-machine at home is broke.
