As well as a recommendation to the author regarding the preferred cover, the one that appears on the front of the book or the one that appears at the end. Throughout the book, pages were pasted by the publisher [which did not appear in the print editions] with a description of the filmed scene and a recommendation for the book (apparently used by the author to choose which one he would like to use as an advertisement for the book).
