-that photo of you and put it on the cover of their book without your permission? This just happened to me and I'm pissed

No and it violates Getty's image policy, their images are only commercially available with signed release https://contributors.gettyimages.com/article_public.aspx?article_id=1834 …
-
-releases “if you are in this event, you may be photographed and we can use the picture in any way.”
-
it was taken in a hotel room not at a private event.

it feels like an endorsement w/out my permission or compensation. they did it without consulting me. the book competes with mine
-
- I recall news of something similar, but before I'd lawyer up, I'd ask myself if it's first possible to turn this around.
-
- e.g. in whatever promo material you use, consider using your image on their book as genuine endorsement of authoritative source
-
the author ripped off my work and I hate him :)
-
- all the more reason to figure out how to use his cover against him, if st all possible. much easier than legal tussle.

the suggestion of an endorsement might be actionable. Have you asked your publisher's legal department?

depends on the location, situation. images taken by press in public are owned by them, I believe.
