Tips for finding high res book covers

Just upgraded to a 4K monitor last month so I've become a lot more insistent that my ebooks have the highest quality book cover art I can find -- I just happened upon a very awesome source I thought I'd share in case some aren't aware of it. If anyone has any other locations to share, would much appreciate it

Just search for the book and click "enlarge cover" button -- It will then give you the option to download high-res copy. The size averages 5-20mb each, varous resolution. (The 22mb one I just grabbed was 1621x2442)

I also occasionally hop over to amazon or b&n , find book and click it to give preview, then do a screen cap and quick crop in paint.. Between those 3 and all the sites calibre searches, I'm rarely stuck with a low res cover anymore. Takes a little work but worth it imo, as I love my eye candy
