Instead of a shot of a boot on a guy's face that may or may not be from a film of the book (or just someone reenacting the book), wouldn't it be better to have a cover of the actual book here?

Opened. Here are some book covers: 1, 2 (this is the version I own, incidentally), 3

I personally like the third one of those the best.

Number 3 has a cool retro look to it, and its cover is less dominated by the title than the others.

Number 3 is to me the most visually striking. It gets my vote.

The third one is definitely the best of those. The text takes up too much space in the first one and the eye isn't quite as clear and unsettling in the second.

I like 3.

Well, that was easy enough. The new pic's up and tagged...I don't really think a caption's necessary, but I'll leave it open for another day or two.

Apparently no caption consensus; closing.
