That is a lovely cover. I have three copies of this already but not with that cover.
I have just discovered your site and I like it very much.
I am also a big fan of Jack Thurston's work. In addition to book covers Thurston painted movie posters. If you would like to see examples of his movie poster art please take a look at my Thurston Flickr album. https://www.flickr.com/photos/klaatucarpenter/albums/72157632802069808
If you would like you may link my album to this post just as you linked to the Tellers of Weird Tales bio of Thurston.
Keep up the fantastic work!
