Aha! Just looked this book up. Haven't read it but yes, this is an example of "Author as Contractor". Weber's name is at the top of the book cover, larger than the title of the book. It screams "hey, Weber fans, read this book!"
At least Jacob Holo's name is the same size....even though located at the bottom of the cover.
Seeing a book cover like this....I generally would think "Ok, Weber is telling me that if I like his books, I should like this one"....I wouldn't expect it to be a "Weber book"....but a "Weber quality controlled" book.
