Source of book cover jpgs
Could someone please point me to a link where I can
find down-loadable book cover files. My main interest is covers for public domain books such as are found at Gutenberg or Manybooks. Thanks for any help |

Calibre has a "Fetch Cover Art" function that works quite well. I have no idea where it gets them from though.
Alternatively, just use Google. Type in the title, and then do an image search. You'll get covers. |

Search Flickr. It has several book cover pools.
But most of the time a Google image search comes through. If the image you want is too small or of bad quality you can use TinEye Reverse Image Search to look for a better version. Also you may want to take a look at Cover Browser. Last edited by BenG; 11-12-2010 at 01:22 PM. |

Yes you can find images suitable for book covers from Flickr. However you're better off choosing an image from a stock photography site such as shutterstock.com
123rf.com or dreamstime.com and then compositing it with another image - perhaps by using Photoshop. Here are some tips on creating professional book covers [Probable spam link deleted.] Last edited by pdurrant; 11-05-2014 at 06:04 AM. |

A brand new member, and this is his first post on his first day? I wonder what his relationship to that web site is.

And there are some good generic covers right here at MR in the Calibre sub forum. I use one of the leather ones myself quite often because I like the look of it.
