the words at the bottom translate into Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep i think the Blade Runner is a marketing ploy show the more well kown movie name instead of the not so well know DADoES least thats my idea i have a reprint of DADoES and they did the same thing

I think i've got the exact same edition. I've heard it's actually an abbreviated and edited version. Can anyone confirm/deny this?

I have the book with the illustration by Chris Moore on the front. Although it does say 'the novel which became Blade Runner.' :)

I reckon it's one of the other androids like Luba luft or Pris, as it looks as though she's been shot in the shoulder. Rachel was never shot in the book, was she? :?

Luba was a blonde, AFAIR.

"DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP?"/"BLADE

TOMTREK,

That is a very 1960's/1970's psychedelic style of SF cover art, which I find curious, given that BLADE RUNNER(TM) came out in 1982.
