Ocean Harvest Vogel Caruso 1961 Knopf First Edition Borzoi Oceanography

Illustrated by John Kaufmann. This one has a lot going for it beyond just being a first edition Knopf. The cover design is a genuinely striking piece of early 1960s graphic design, exactly the kind of atomic-age, space-race-era science aesthetic that mid-century modern collectors and book cover enthusiasts go after.
