Richard Brautigan. Trout Fishing in America.

The more awkward the cover, the more I love. Cut and paste, black and white. Freewheelin’ trips! Richard Brautigan’s title-less cover is worth indeed, one thousand words. And check the Paul Bowles’ Alvin Lustig cover, wow.

When I say ‘awkward’ I mean it’s AMAZING! I only wish I make covers like those magical hippie book designers!
