I've read a book titled Matthew Flinders' Cat by Bryce Courtenay.
I'd like to add the correct cover. How can I do this?

thank you

>1 petra4: On the main page of the work click 'change cover' and then either 'browse' to upload from your device or 'grab' to upload from web

Edit: Often, there will already be an appropriate cover by other members. You can chose one of those too. Member uploaded covers are stable and don't change, unlike Amazon supplied ones.

(sorry to hijack a thread)
Could you clarify what that means? Despite being a member of libraryThing for ten years, I have finally begun adding books to the site, taking pains to ensure the covers are correct.

Will they change on me if I haven't chosen Member-supplied covers? Or am I just misreading?

The problem with Amazon-supplied covers is that if, for any reason, Amazon changes the image on their site, it will change here, too.

>5 alsocass: You are mostly using Amazon covers. They can change or disappear.

>5 alsocass: To make those amazon covers your own, member added, right click on the image, capture the url and put it in the box labeled

“Or grab one from the web”

The option "change cover" is not working. Any ideas?

And it's been fixed.
