‘Dilation Effect’ would make a great title for a diet book.
As for the cover — it reminds me of Jean Michel Jarre album art. Or is it a magic eye image? If I stare at it for two hours will a 3-D dolphin eventually emerge?

“We don’t have TIME to finish this entire cover! Just take what you already have and copy it six thousand times!”

Looks like a rejected recruiting poster for the R.A.F. .

Today, all that duplication would take a few Photoshop seconds, but in 1971 I bet the poor artist had to hand craft each iteration of the woman and the man(?) And each RAF decal hand-painted… or left over from old Airfix kits.

REALLY! How many co-existing selves does a man have?

Well, if the answer to that question isn’t found on the last page, that book is a rip-off!

This cover was made long before computer graphics… so should we assume it was entirely hand-painted (or rather hand-airbrushed)?
Imagine doing all that work, for days on end, and not ONCE stopping to think “What the hell am I doing?”

It was the seventies, and no one had any problem with an artist staying hopped up on ‘shrooms for three weeks straight.

Awful. This would have struck so much fear into my childhood heart.

It came as no surprise to the reader that the answer to the question turned out to be 42.

How many co-existing selves does a man have?
The answer my friends is blowing in the wind.

The artist misread the blurb as ‘How many co-existing elves can a man have?’ and tried to portray that number.

When the nurses accidentally put oxytocin doses at the Covid mass vaccination center, the result was a superspreader dilation effect.
