Dealer Notes
Botten produced around 120 cover designs in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, including 6 covers for titles by J.G. Ballard. He understood the structure of the dust wrapper and frequently wrapped his artwork to incorporate the spine and rear cover, this stunning design being one of his most successful.
