McCullers, Carson. Time Life Books, 1965. Softbound. Intro by Oliver Evans. Between 1962 and 1966, the Time Reading Program published a range of classic and contemporary literature aimed at a commercial audience, all featuring coated covers with wraparound art by contemporary artists. The astonishingly versatile Leo and Diane Dillon here take on McCullers's bildungsroman, using an embroidered tapestry to depict its main characters in a gloomy front-cover composition, as the happy couple—revealed on the back—make an escape for their peripheral honeymoon.
Tight, uncreased spine has a very slight lean. Clean, unmarked interior. Some gently bumped corners and a subtle three-inch crease to the front cover. 143 pp. Fiction.
