1. Looking at the cover, you will see that the name on the bus — that is to say, its destination — is “Further.” You have to read the book to find out it was actually spelled “Furthur” and that they, like, did this on purpose. Comment on the cover.

(cover design was by HENRY SENE YEE. Hand-lettering & Illustration by Phil Pascuzzo. Based on a visual developed by Laura Hanifin.

Diane  | 2044 comments I love the cover. It is very representative of the time and circumstances, with the Day-Glo painted bus and the tie-dyed look. The distortions in the bus and the lettering suggest an acid-trip.

Yes, it does suggest an acid trip.

I have the much less lurid black swan version which is purple and clue concentric circles that look kind of spacey

It suggest an acid trip. I really did not think all the colors and day glo and clown like outfits was very appealing. I really don't get the whole movement. The sign Furthur represents the "trip" with acid will take you futher than you've ever gone before and also was a band formed in 2009 by former Grateful Dead.
