Below is a more appropriate URL for the book, and you can view pages and 
go to other versions of the book from here.

Of course Steinweiss was NOT the "inventor" of the modern album cover.  
And I would like to know where the bullcrap about Columbia sales 
increasing 800% in six months because of the covers comes from.  It 
doesn't mention that this also was at the time that prices for 
Masterworks were cut in half.  I bet that had MUCH MORE to do with 
increased sales!!!
