Only publishers and authors have the right to distribute their cover images; libraries are more complex, but generally ok. Most other sites are not, as a general rules of thumb."


So the parameters are actually much narrower than simply a "non-bookseller source" then? Maybe a note to the effect of what you just wrote would be a good thing to add to the Librarian's Manual? There are tons of non-bookseller sources (like blogs and book review sites) that I would have judged to be acceptable based on what it currently says but based on what you just said, probably aren't.

I fixed the dates. Please provide a source (author/publisher page, etc.) for the cover images. On the additional books, As Darkness Falls and Tempest Rise, both are showing on the author page. I'm not sure what you're asking.

Blogs and book review sites [actually, depends what you mean by this phrase] are usually acceptable sources as well. And there are already several notes in the manual regarding cover sources.
