Of particular interest are the several volumes within the set featuring the powerful artwork of famed science fiction cover artist, Richard M. Powers (d. 1996), who launched his career with successful cover art illustrations of Doubleday's science fiction, and whose illustrations substantially enhance many of the titles here.
