The Planets: Some Myths and Realities by Richard Baum (David & Charles)
Pink Premier Shaded with its low-waisted A for the jacket of The Planets, a book by Richard Baum (1930–2017), astronomical writer and trained artist, and Director of the Terrestrial Planets Section at the British Astronomical Association.
See also Water in the Garden for another book published by David & Charles in 1973 that also fetaures Premier Shaded, and probably was designed by the same person.
