@ GMW if you don't have it. Get the (calibre) Search the Internet Plugin

Searching Google Images comes up with better (the ones that match my 60's issues, covers) selection. Click the 'found' results (really a thumbnail), to open the real image: Drag that onto the Details (or info, or cover in the MDE) to get the listed size
Thanks, that "Search the Internet" plug-in is a convenient way to find a good selection quite quickly.


I must admit that I was expecting a bit more in the way of comradeship in my complaining. You know the sort of thing: "Oh, I know. Isn't it terrible." Instead it's like: "Yeah, so what?"

I put this down to the long history of poor quality control over e-book publication. (Not just covers but CSS and epub structural problems, OCR errors and so on.) Everyone has gotten so used to fixing (or ignoring) problems with e-books that we now have very low expectations. With what other products would we accept such low quality standards?
