[edit] Cover of book

So I noticed that this article has no infobox, and decided to add one. I did a Google search for "A Medicine for Melancholy" and came up with two very different cover images:

I know that the newer one looks better and is in the same style as the covers shown on related articles The Golden Apples of the Sun and I Sing the Body Electric, but I think I read from somewhere that older editions (preferrably first editions) are preferred to the more well-known new editions. Does anybody have any suggestions for which one to put up on the infobox? Breed Zona 21:04, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Given the 60¢ price on the cover you posted, I believe it is the 1967 Bantam printing. I've added a scan of the dust-jacket from the Doubleday (first edition) and moved yours to later in the article.--Rtrace 17:01, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
