Description from an auction in 1996 (with 'Bob Linder' - Cover).
Cover:
Made of heavy paper. It is stained and has a 5" seam split on the right and a similar split on the bottom.
The 8 1/4" X 8 1/4" picture (includes a 3/4" white border) is an original (not a copy, the real thing) pencil drawing of a large crescent moon with a large, wolf looking dog sitting on it.
Over the dog is: Moondog. The background is shaded with a few stars and a half-dollar size dark circle (the earth). The artist's initials are in the lower right. In the bottom portion of the frame MOONDOG is printed on the left & in pencil, Bob Linder is printed. On the lower right of the frame: Album ... is printed and "2" is in pencil.
The rear has a sketch of Moondog, his shoe & walking stick. These appear to be just a quick drawing and lack the professional look of the cover art.
