Identifying books with covers uploaded by you

Is there a way to identify books in your library where the cover is not one uploaded by you?

I'm doing some deep dives into my catalogue and want to ensure my ebooks have the cover I use in Calibre.

From your profile page (click on your name at the top right of any page), click on Stats/Memes then Book covers.

(When you click the link, it automatically fills in your member name - so it works for anyone.)

>2 r.orrison: That's the page I'm working from.

But it doesn't have a link to identify the books with covers you have contributed - just covers you have chosen or are best-guess for isbn.

I can't see how to do the reverse searches - those of my books with a specific tag that aren't either of the two options:
coverstats::isbncustom
coverstats:yourcustom

When I try negating the search terms, I get no results.

I've put in a request for this, but Tim hemmed and hawed about not tracking it properly early on so didn't want to create such a link.

Here's hoping for LT2 then!

I think there's been a lot of requests over the years that would make the user experience so much pleasanter that have fallen by the wayside.
