    Gloss cover. On 2016-02-23 Eric White confirmed his role with "I designed the layout and put the materials together but didn't make any part of the art - it's all photographic." Generally we would not credit a cover designer but are doing so in this case to help distinguish editions of The Martian. (Source: Author email to PV1 here)
