Stephen King's
Misery (1987) had a novel within the novel,
Misery's Return by Paul Sheldon. Below is the cover of the Viking hardcover, an image repeated for the cover of the 1988 Signet paperback. However, opening the Signet paperback revealed another cover (above). It featured an inside joke, showing King himself in the romance cover. This painting has been used on products, including a throw pillow and a T-shirt.

Heinlein's Future History
Control click heading to hear "Universe" (May 15, 1955).
This is Robert A. Heinlein's Future History chart, first published in the May 1941 issue of
Astounding Science Fiction (along with "Universe"). It was later reprinted in the back pages of some of Heinlein's early 1950s Signet paperbacks. I used Photoshop to increase the size so it will be more readable when clicked. To read two of the Future History stories ("The Green Hills of Earth" and "The Menace from Earth"), go
here.
