I have absolutely no idea whether this is a legitimate cover or not, and I couldn’t find any evidence that it was, but it’s still damn cool. Found it on this blog. I think the article writer’s description is apt: It’s “frumpy” and it “screams ‘Acid rock'”!
Even searching for Penguin versions with an introduction by Margaret Atwood and David Bradshaw and a $7.99 UK (I think that says “UK”) cover price yielded no results. If anyone manages to figure this one out, let me know!
Agreed. It does scream “acid rock” and I love it!

Thanks for the comment! I’m in love with it, too. Wish I could determine whether it was a real cover or not—I LOVE collecting books with off-beat covers.

Woah, very cool cover!
Brave New World is probably my favorite dystopian novel ever (even better than 1984).
That cover just instantly caused a flood of memories about the book. If it isn’t a real cover, it should be!
Thanks for sharing. :)

It’s not a real book cover but it’s a very nice design. Better than more than a few real covers.
I found the original here:

Thanks for getting to the bottom of this, Leslie! I figured it wasn’t a real design, since I couldn’t track the version down, but I loved it so much, I had to share. And I agree—it’s a better cover than actual ones!
