Although not a find a monumental proportions the book I just picked up at the library did give up a small gem. Page 212 of The Great American Paperback by Ricahrd A. Lupoff does feature the cover of Koontz’ Dark of the Woods with the following caption:
“Doubled with a Koontz PBO (Soft Come the Dragons, cover by Jack Gaughan) this is one of the books that the author doesn’t particularly care to see reprinted. Koontz was a competent but unremarkable science fiction writer in his early years, then found his métier in high tension suspense and borderline horror and leaped to the bestseller list.”
