Could this be used as a cover source?

This is mostly a question for rivka:

Could this website be used as a source for manga covers (which are hard to find appropriate sites for, especially Japanese covers).

The best source for Japanese manga covers is probably the publishers. The problem I run into though is searching by ISBN, you sometimes have to insert the dashes. If the title is already in Japanese on GR, I try on that as well.

Here are a couple of the more popular Japanese publishers...

Kodansha 講談社
www.bookclub.kodansha.co.jp

Shueisha 集英社
books.shueisha.co.jp

Hakusensha 白泉社

Mag Garden マッグガーデン
http://www.mag-garden.co.jp/

Shogakukan 小学館
http://www.shogakukan.co.jp/

Enterbrain エンターブレイン

More pertinent to your question, I have seen that site before, and I am also curious to know whether we can use the covers. It probably would be a good idea to email the site owner and ask.

It sounds likely, but I agree it would be best to ask, since GR is a commercial site.

I usually use publisher sites anyways, but I will ask if I can't find the images anywhere else.
