This thing is insanely gorgeous in person. The photo doesn't begin to do it justice.

 

And the painting ain't to bad either.

My feelings exactly

I love this book.

When do you ever see it to love it!

It's the only copy I have ever seen in 30+ years of collecting. It just screams Golden Age. Here's a picture without the glare:

What I find most amazing about these futuristic GA covers is that they portray the future but through the eyes of a nearly century old understanding of technology.

 

For example, they have a cool looking futuristic car, but because they hadn't discovered alloys and plastics yet, the is held together by rivets. Iron rivets.

 

That thing must have weighed 8000 lbs (double the average vehicle weight) and needed 2000HP to make it go anywhere quickly...but there it is.

 

Love it.

GA rivets must work because we all stare longingly at a riveting cover.

All it needed to make it go quickly was a cool skull on the hood.

Skulls make everything go faster.
