James Michener - General Tiki

For my money, it's the best DJ artwork on any Michener title. The Philippe Weisbecker-illustrated edition of The Franklin Library's "Tales of the South Pacific" has great external design, but his interior illustrations are somehow too dull & abstract. The Franklin Library's earlier mid-1970's edition of "Tales" featured illustrations by William Franklin Draper, and lend themselves much more to the romantic setting of the book. This Turkish edition of "Hawaii" has a pulpish feel that his early vintage pbs had. [ Edited by: White Devil 2014-02-27 13:01 ]
