Now, I don't know if this is true for all google ebooks or a small percentage of it. Has anyone seen an explanation for this ?

Thanks much.
Small percentage. I saw it once out of 'hundreds' of books. Not talking about covers - those are, at times, missing. But it's extremely rare to have figures missing.

The explanations above are likely correct - image copyright is often purchased separately.

If you contact them, I am sure you can get a refund, if that's what you want. If you are afraid of purchasing other books from Google - don't be, this doesn't happen usually.
