Yeah, Grant took on several book-related projects. This particular dust jacket amuses me since his sole staff member at the time, Park Rinard, himself a distinguished Iowan for his work with Harold Hughes, John Culver, and Neal Smith, was pressed into duty as his model. Park was a friend of Paula and me as well as of Jack, the recipient of the book, with its handsome jacket in tact.
