Well, I just hit one of my favorite bookstores today, The Reading Place in Charlotte, Michigan, to pick up four new Heinlein books: the nice early '60s "techno" Starman Jones by Berkey at left, an uncredited Glory Road, a Menace from Earth by John Melo, and an uncredited Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag that captures the feel of the title story quite well. Now these have been scanned and added to my galleries of cover art.
Of course, the real work was adjusting my library to accommodate the new purchases. My books all are alphabetized strictly by author and then title--except series (which are shelved according to plot chronology) and history (which are organized by geographical region, then alphabetized by title)--so any new additions require shuffling all the other books that are downstream. I think this took about half an hour, but it does make finding things later awfully easy indeed.
In any event, these four covers now are in their appropriate galleries. And I confess that for my next used book run I may have my eye on an old Podkayne of Mars and a new Time Enough for Love...
