Sorry, I should have looked at them. IMO they are too small to send, even with a meaningful title and author names under them. I assumed theducks was suggesting making a contact sheet to give access to the full size covers.

One could write a script that traverses the library directory tree and copies the cover.jpgs to another folder renaming them on the fly to <parent folder name>.jpg - the parent folder name is unique as it incorporates the book id.

Then do whatever takes your fancy with that folder of images - e.g. make a pdf, with hot linking from contact sheet(s) to images, check boxes to tick to request the book... etc
