I assumed that was the case; the B&W illo which also appears on p. 5 of the Ace 40&#A2; (F-274) edition of /The Cosmic Computer/.

Typical of the poor quality of the vast majority of Jack Gaughan's work.

Heard back from the seller. Apparently the illustration being
offered is not the cover illustration but rather the interior
illustration that appears on page 5.

Good luck,

David

Interesting Piper item here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320600717751

I'd thought the illustrator for this edition of ~The Cosmic Computer~ was Ed Valigursky but apparently it was Jack Gaughan.

Good luck,

David
