I don't think The Dharma Buns is Seth - looks more like Woodring...
According to Penguin, it's Seth, but I'll change it if it turns out its not him.
crwm was right. I just got confirmation that the Dharma Bums cover is by Jason. I didn't think that cover looked like Seth.
Looks like Penguin got it wrong in their catalog. Oops!

I believe the The Portable Dorothy Parker has a cover by Seth and fellow one-name-only artist Jason created the Dharma Bums cover.

Gosh, that Lady Chatterley may be incongruous, but it magnifies the chasm between two periods and two styles of narration so well that it sort of works.
Are there any differences between the versions? I noticed there's a twenty page discrepancy between the recent version and this D.E.
