Hello, is there any way I can add any of these to generate when there's no cover and I want to "Generate Cover" from the Edit Metadata window?

No, but you can use them in the optional Generate Cover plug-in

Thanks, I thought it was a thread worth bumping. 7-year bump!

Besides, the idea that you can't post in a thread just because it's old is really stupid.

Bumping it just to say "nice thread" is... not very helpful.

@DNSB, @owb : This is a resource thread, that's why its a sticky. I find it perfectly reasonable for someone who finds the resources useful to pass on their thanks publicly - no matter how much time has elapsed since the last post.

If you have a problem with a post report it ==>> Guideline 12

Some of the books in the MobileRead library either don't have covers, or have very dull/poor covers. Here are some settings for import into the plugin that produce Penguin-like simple colour covers with a MobileRead Library theme.

An example of a generated cover:

When I sat to review & fine-tune my Calibre library in February, I also have decided to make a Penguin-inspired book cover template! Shows, that they are truly a classic designwise.

My version is very minimal, and I've made 36 colour-variations to choose from.
Available in SVG & PNG format, with instructions on installation and SVG editing for even more colours.

Can be downloaded here: Calibre Book cover templates (Penguin)

I have downloaded the AO3 version, thanks!

But I do have the following question which I asked in the Generate Cover plugin thread with no response so far...can anyone in this thread chime in?

My post from that thread:

Quote:
Just installed Generate Cover for the first time. I added it because I downloaded some covers by kuzzzma from this post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...&postcount=251

The set has 36 color options. I've added about 8-10 of the color options to the Select Image list.

If I select like 50 or 100 books, is there anyway to randomize or alternate between the multiple color images instead of all 50 or 100 being the same one color?
