Shows the Trope Namer but not the trope itself.

The image itself also isn't an example, as Zapp is a General Failure.

[up] I'm curious as to why you want to keep it?

I want to suggest this but I think it might have the same issues as the current.

[up] Yeah, although we could at least caption it with some text from it, seeing as it has been de-fictionalized.

I guess that could work.

I'm good with keeping the current image. The others are just... text, especially the table of contents.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested; not feeling any other suggestions so far.

Current image is the only example one so far illustrating the in-universe appearance of such a book.

The current is better than nothing, but I like the others too, especially the Sun Tzu variant.

[up] Those are all basically the same as the current.

I'll also go with Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

I'm not sure how this trope is supposed to be shown without showing an actual book or document that a character is taking strategic advice from. At least with the Simpsons, it's showing the Trope Codifier.

The clock's up and consensus appears to be in favor of the current. Locking up.
