I remember reading (and enjoying) this in mass-market paperback when I was in high school. I probably wouldn’t have picked it up if it had looked like this.
Spider Robinson could pretty much get me to read anything though. 🙂

Wow. I still have the original paperback; this is still one of my favorite SF stories. I’ve been noticing a horrible trend of older SF novels being reissued with awful, amateurish covers. Seriously, check out Somtow Sucharitkul’s Inquestor series (SP Somtow is his better known pen name), or Spider’s Callahan reissues. Good GOD.
