To clarify: I'm not trying to get the covers themselves. I am using the cover image to retrieve subtitles that are often not found in the metadata downloaded from sources like Goodreads or Amazon or is not in the format I prefer. I use Apple's OCR technology to grab this data from cover image. It is very good at recognizing text regardless of fonts and layouts (e.g. vertical or diagonal text, text in an arch, etc.).
My macro allows me to draw a quick selection rectangle around the text on the book cover and it automatically creates my book title in the proper format.
