How much of a cyanacrylat glue have you spent for making that photo with stones? I am not sure whether the top stone is image collage but I can promise the bottom 3 stones of 4 is a real picture ^_^

Haha, none personally but maybe the photographer did. It's a free stock photo.[0]

I hired an illustrator to design a custom cover for me, but the project went off the rails, as the artist was using AI in ways I disliked, so I ended up just doing my own mediocre cover in two hours.[1]
