1974 - Post of Honor
1970 - God is an Englishman
1971 - Long Summer Day

A Mystery....
BELOW: The 1970 DREAMING SUBURB -- is this a Berkey?? It's NOT on the Jane Frank Checklist, but it sure looks like a Berkey... but the inside credits say that this cover is by "Ann Meisel"...
THE MYSTERY IS SOLVED!!!
The "BERK" of BERKEY's signature is faintly visable in the grass to the right of the dog!!! It was so faded that it couldn't be seen with the naked eye, I had to use a magnifying glass!
