Status Updates From Nick Adams Stories

Compare this with the umpteen dull and cliched covers that come up on Amazon for it, including this washed out one that Goodreads uses. When was the golden age of book design?

I bought this for $5 at Herridge Books in Wellfleet, a dangerously well-curated used bookstore on Cape Cod. The edition I've got is the Scribner Library one with an arresting black and green image of trees and a log tipped over all drawn with thick lines and a serious sense of foreboding. Perfectly evocative of the work itself.
