From Wikipedia:

Worms Eat My Garbage: How to Set Up & Maintain a Worm Composting System is a book by Mary Appelhof self-published in 1982 under the company name Flower Press. The book is still held as seminal reading in the field of vermicomposting.

The cover illustration and possibly also the cover design is by Mary Frances Fenton. Octopuss was apparently chosen for its vermicular qualities.
