The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Growing up, I read many great novels in Airmont Classics editions.
Airmont was a small imprint that specialized in public domain titles, presented in uniform editions with sometimes wonderful covers. I well recall that the cover for Dracula, rather inexplicably, had artwork depicting a mustached Peter Cushing, as if he been cast in the title role.
I've always had a fondness for their Jekyll and Hyde cover, clearly influenced by the Frederic March makeup.
