"Moby Dick" By Herman Melville, Cover Art By Peter Rudland (This edition published in 1969 by J.M. Dent & Sons Ltd, Everyman's Library, London, New York)

Great design on this book - yes, I did buy it just for its cover as I already had a copy of this classic. Art work on the cover by British designer Peter Rudland - couldn't find any information on him but here's another blogger and collector with some more covers by the artist:   http://callumjames.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/book-collecting-as-disease-case-of.html
