I would say if you have physical copy of the book and can scan the cover then do so. Problem is taking data/covers from other sites.

Covers generally fall under the fair use rule

Agreed. You would then own the rights (to the degree that copyright allows, i.e., fair use) to that image of the cover.

I would even say it's encouraged.
