I believe the painting on front was by Steven Stroud.
I have always wondered why Charlie’s eyes on this particular cover are green when in the book Stephen King mentions her blue eyes.
Where is the Baker Signet on this cover?
It’s used for the SK initials on the book cover (not jacket), the spine (image 3), and the title page (image 4).
