Cover Art

These instructions do not apply to the Search Inside the Book program. For Search Inside the Book submissions, no additional cover art needs to be sent. Learn more about participating in our Search Inside the Book program.

Experience has shown that customers are more comfortable purchasing products with accompanying images. Not only will posting cover art improve the look of your page, but it might also help your sales!
