annaloog 31st Aug 2024		The cover painting is the same as for the Timescape hardcover edition, attributed to Don Maitz. (this comment is from another edition of this book)



ppint. 4th Dec 2017		at least eight printings exist with this cover art by bruce pennington: three in 1981, one in 1982, two in 1983, one each in 1984 and 1985, with cover prices rising through £1.60, £1.75 iirc, £1.95, and £2.25; i don't remember whether they'd reached £2.50 before the cover art on all four was changed to peter "paj" jones' very different images of severian with "shadow"'s1986 ninth printing . . . the true first arrow p/b printing has no white box cut out of the wraparound cover art for insertion of the first (& subsequent) increase in cover price.
