>tfw this is apparently the best English translation and I opted out for another translation simply because of the cover.

Most of the time good books get tasteful covers. And that's how it should be.

I hate faggots publishers who break the rule and give terrible covers for decent books (like >>4567762 ). They should be tried or something.

I do too, sometimes I skip over books I really wanted to read if I can't find a nice looking copy.

Penguin covers are generally tasteful, if sometimes dull.

Why do you generally have to look to foreign covers for something decent when it comes to the Dick?
Most English editions range from ho hum to terrible.
Pic related.
