Tomorrow's Gift

This 1958 Ballantine cover by Powers is one of my favorites in our collection.  It is also a favorite of Scott Robinson who paid a visit to our home recently.  Scott is a huge Powers addict (like myself) and we had a great afternoon talking art and music.

When Scott saw Tomorrow's Gift he had a self-proclaimed "religious experience", having imprinted on this book cover as a kid.  It was his favorite.  He pointed out Powers had altered the abstract seated nude in the foreground after the cover was printed.  I had never noticed before!


Another example of Powers constantly returning to pieces and "improving" things : )
