If the book cover image is incorrect on a listing in the database (the title/author shown are wrong), or there is no cover image, you can submit an image for the book to our Book Image Collection volunteers, as follows:

• Find a cover image for the book on another Internet database, or scan one in or take a digital photograph
  • The image must be less than 5 MB
  • The image must be in .jpg format
  • The image must be cropped to show only the book cover
  • The image can't be one that has "See inside!" (some images from Amazon.com have this)
• To upload the image:
  • Either use the Upload button beneath the No Cover Available graphic on the listing, or
  • Scroll down to the bottom of any page on the site
  • Click Member Tools
  • Click "Upload Book Covers" on the Member Tools page
  • Enter the ISBN for the book
  • Browse your hard drive for the cover image
  • Click to submit it
• The Image Approvers will usually approve images quickly.
  • If your image is not approved, it might have been too fuzzy or in the wrong format or not properly cropped
  • The Image Approvers will often replace your image with a better one when your submission comes in.

If the book cover image on a listing matches the author and title but doesn't happen to match YOUR copy of the book that has that ISBN:

• This image does not need to be replaced.
• Cover images do NOT have to match the book being listed, because sometimes publishers reprint using the same ISBN but a different cover art.
• ISBN, author, title and booktype must match when you Post a book; cover image does not have to match.
