BEST SCIENCE FICTION STORIES OF CLIFFORD D. SIMAK

Paperback Library paperback, first printing, 1972. Cover artist
uncredited, possibly Bob Pepper? (thanks: Egrove).

"A man's discovery of the truth about his travelling companions. A shipboard romance involving a fickle female and three unresponsive crewmen. A young man's dissatisfaction with his new job. A drunken evening that turns into one continuous lost weekend. These are some of the ordinary events that take on quite extraordinary dimensions in these seven unusual takes by a master of science fiction. Highly original and perceptive, each of the stories examines the glamor and mystery of existence and the very real possibilities that lie within the realm of future experience. Together they show Clifford Simak at his entertaining and thought-provoking best."

Looks a little like a Bob Pepper cover, but haven't been able to find any confirmation on the net.
