Some seventies textbook cover art was amazingly right/wrong/both, so I need to dig up what examples I remember. But financial textbooks these days definitely have the most useless covers. I can't wait for the next editions with sackcloth/ashes on them.

I didn't know about the 'Hi! I'm Harald' Bluetooth referencing gag, as my copy has 'International Edition' covering that corner. The book isn't like that inside though. In fact, it's one of the densest most difficult to read textbooks I've ever slogged through, nearly 900 pages of tedium that makes the telephone directory look like a Len Deighton novel.
