I'm very curious about what process is used to choose book covers. This one seems even more random than most other books related to programming.

Manning use people in old costumers for their covers[1], and I hand-picked the fisherman who presumably catches fish with his bare hands as a metaphore that the book will give you the tools you need to stop catching fish with your bare hands.

If you can make sense of the cover, you can make sense of javascript.
