BABlogee Jim Atkins thought that an astronomy book would be aptly photographed in the stratosphere, or in this case, The Stratosphere:

That's the view form the Las Vegas casino The Stratosphere. Even more appropriate, of course, is that this is near the annual Amaz!ng Meeting location. Jim mentioned he uses the book as a reference for the 7th grade enrichmnent astronomy homeroom he runs. Cooooool. I imagine the trip to Vegas was to give him insight in statistics for his teaching, as well.

So, do you own a copy of the book? Take a picture of yourself holding it in some fun location, send it to me, and I'll post it here!
