What is your favourite chess book cover?

My favourite chess book cover is the one for Lev Alburt's Chess Training Pocket Guide. I interpret the cover photo as a visual metaphor for the real-life distractions that prey on the serious student of chess.

I imagine the woman asking the chess player, "Do you really love those wooden queens more than me?" (Or something naughtier, for those who like wordplay on the term "position".)

Update: I tried to upload an image of the cover, but it was automatically removed.

I have read that thread, but since I haven't played and posted much yet on Chess.com, I am not yet allowed to upload images. It's a known issue that has been raised several times in the forums; the UI doesn't prevent me from selecting an image to upload but then removes it from my post.

The Woodpecker Method. Or the Desert Island Chess Puzzle Omnibus.

I understand. I was just pointing out that the cover can be appreciated in the other thread.
