I hope you'd appreciate seeing a physical edition of Star Chosen in paperback from the side angle. At 360 pages, this is a very thick book. In fact, in this year's major finalization of the story (which I started 20 years ago), I rewrote the entire story and added two thirds more material to the book.
For final production, I spent a lot of time making the spine art flow from back cover to front cover somewhat seamlessly. If you look carefully at the upper spine, you can see the eye of a character named Paula. She is featured on the back cover and plays a major part in the latter third of the book.
