I was wondering if there is a way to find books that need cover art. I like to do that sort of thing, but don't know how to find them. Any suggestions?

Pay attention to your friends' feeds. Or there's always the "random book" option.

Beth (bethjustbeth) | 1568 comments I also look at each author I'm reading...make sure the edition I'm reading is correct in number of pages & description, and look to see if all editions have the cover art. If so, then I look at the author's other books, to see if they have their cover art, or need to be combined. :)

It's on the "explore" drop-down. And yeah, it's a fun toy.

Yeah, small children have a remarkable lack of respect for legal holidays. ;)

Thank you everyone! I did go to the Random and scrolled through. I found 4 so far and one of them was a German Version of Disney's Great Mouse Detective. This will keep me busy!!
