Vintage Sci-Fi Covers

I just found this neat crowdfunding campaign:

https://unbound.com/books/wonders-and-visions

Two sci-fi critics have collected book covers from the history of science fiction and are turning them into a book. 300-350 covers will be included, from all decades of sci-fi publishing.

Ok, so I got a little inspired by the above and checked my own book collection for favourite covers:

This is the Swedish edition of Rendezvous With Rama from 1974. Cover by Tom Hultgren.

I really enjoy these typography-only covers, but I suppose they were used partially for economic reasons. Swedish is a small language/market after all and illustrations are expensive.
