Yea. I would like a different cover graphic. 

Although a pickaxe and rocks might have some relevance for refactoring, 
"the pickaxe book" isn't too catchy. 

How about a picture of a wizard with a handful of rubies or Einstein in 
his prime or Tesla in his Colorado lab or a hand grasping lightning bolts 
or a brain? --> "The wizard book" or "the Einstein book" or "the lightning 
book".
