It's not intended as a "fiction book", it's a Commemoration of the television adaptation. Thus it was deemed fitting to use a screen shot from the short movie. Think of it this way: You wouldn't want a photo of James Cameron on the cover of the Commemorative DVD of "Avatar", and you wouldn't want an artists drawing on the cover of the Commemorative edition of "The Terminator".
