The photo is of a coffee counter on which is the pink paperback book with a painting in the center of oranges in a clear plastic sack against a white background. Above it is a packaged donut. To the right is a white mug of machine brewed black coffee with the creme still visible. The mug says Beck's Coffee Shop. Across the way you can see a man looking at his smartphone, his face cut off from view
