Title: The Man Who Japed / The Space-Born
Author: Philip K. Dick / E. C. Tubb
Cover artist: Ed Emshwiller / Ed Valigursky
Yours for: $25
Best things about this cover:
- Jackie gonna be *a* severed-headball sta-ar!
- When college pranks go awry. "We said 'japery,' Jackie. 'Japery.' You call beheading the dean 'japery'!?"
- The best, and I mean the Very Best, part of this cover is the teeny arm waving goodbye / pleading for help from beneath the jagged stick pile.
Best things about this other cover:
- Death was their pilot, fear their fuel, underground hot-oil wrestling their passion!
- Hey, you've got to hide your love away! (from the flying pestle-wielding space golems)
- "Halt! Halt! Freddie Mercury wants his boots back! Remove the boots at once or face extreme golem-pestle interrogation enhancement!"

He stared at the knives in the hands of the searchers.
"Wait … those aren't knives," Tom whispered to Jerry. "Those are just pestles. I say we run for it!"

"He undermined their world with mockery!"
Tag line of "The Man Who Japed", or the new rallying cry of your crossword blog?
"He undermined their world with mockery!"
Sounds more like the tag line for the entire Internet.
Those are fantastic. I want them.
Re: Space Born. It looks like Ace and Gary from SNL's Ambiguously Gay Duo!
Must. Have. Ace. Doubles.
I have four copies of an Ace Double with TWO PKD novels: Dr. Futurity and The Unteleported Man!
