I recently bought a Chuck Palahniuk book from a used book place and from what research I've done I cannot seem to find one like it online. Its a Jonathan Cape cover that doesn't look like the one you can currently buy. I'm not some place that I can post a picture of it so I'll try my best to describe it. It has a plate of food on it with a steak, peas, tomatoes, a mushroom, and french fries. Then has a fork at the top of the plate and "choke" in lower case red letters going across the top right hand corner upwards. Has any one else seen this cover?

Images are working fine for me and yes that's the one!! Any idea of it's worth, rare/common/etc? I live in the US so I was just surprised to find a UK print. The guy didn't realize that it was a non-US print so instead of pricing it at like 80 bucks (well 40 because its half price books..) he priced it at the normal 8 bucks and so thats what I got it at!

Yeah, 8 bucks is a steal.

Yeah, but any ideas non-signed its worth? Any specifics about it? I just want to know as much about this copy as I can really. =D

That is the UK 1st (there is no hardcover), it isn't worth that much. I'd say $US20-50 tops.
