Or, I can take a photo of my book and upload if you need. But it seems that AbeBooks is an acceptable source for covers, according to GR article/Librarian-Manual-Acceptable-sources-for-covers-and-book-data

Thank you!

Thanks Elisa. However, I've noted that this links to a completely different and wrong Author (one in Texas). The Mark Graham of this particular book is a New Zealander (though living in Queensland, Australia for most his life now) and likely he hasn't written any other books.

I've just found a Bio on wikipedia if you need it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_...

Interestingly, it cites additional authors (I thought as much that it was ghost-written, but no mention in the actual book - though i now notice that on the inside back flyleaf it says "as told to .....".)
Wikipedia lists as Further Reading:
Mark Graham; Allan Clarkson; Brian Mossop; Grantlee Kieza (1989). Mark My Words: Mark Graham Story. RPL Books/Rugby Publishing Ltd. ISBN 978-0-9597884-1-9

Elisa | 6366 comments with great trouble I was finally able to separate this author from the many other Mark Graham authors on GR :)
