Yet another Stephen King book where the current can't be reproduced at 800px. Suggestions:

1.1

[tup] to 1.2., if there’s a less creased and crinkled version of the cover.

[tup] to 1.1 because it doesn't have any crinkle on the cover.

[up][up] That was the best I could do that met the criteria...if someone does find a better version, they're welcome to post it. Finding covers that are the right size and aren't too dinged up to make good pics has been a consistent issue with trying to upgrade the pics on King's older books.

[tup] 1.1

I think this is a link to a less creased (but still not uncreased) version of 1.2:

As mentioned elsewhere the image uploader is being awful for me today. I've commented on this bug report if anyone else is having problems might be worth posting there.

This French cover? (title and credits still in English... or at least as "alias" comes from Latin and means the same in English and French we're good):

[up][tup]. Much clearer on the story’s premise.

[tup] Weak 10, only because I can't find a good image of the first-edition cover (1.2) without any creases or wear-and-tear. I tried using an editor to resize the only images I could find that aren't direct photos of the physical books, but they looked like shit on being resized.

Side note: It seems a bit pointless to use a pen name if the work is going to be published as "[real name] a.k.a. [pen name]". Seemingly every single edition after the first credits Stephen King a.k.a. Richard Bachman as such.
