I have all the softcover American editions, and could scan and provide the cover art if it is a) legally permitted and b) desired . . .
Barring that, is there a way to provide your own cover art to the program? 'Cause I really like the American cover of book 5 ('swerd sliced Vordak mace on Iktar-back, very dramatic).

You can just place your scanned images (or any image file) in the appropriate folder contained in <USER DOCS>/seventh sense/data/books/bookXX (where XX is the book number, and <USER DOCS> is exactly that - your user documents folder.

Ah, that should have been obvious. Sorry for being lazy.
Would it be allowable for me to provide them to you, or is that a publisher thing and they don't fall under the release? They're in storage atm, so I can't check the art copyright yet.

Some of the publishers have granted PA permission to use their covers, while others have not (yet!). I'm going to PM you with info as to who you might talk to in the PA upper ranks regarding the covers...

also, one of the changes I made to the code yesterday involved a wildcard-type lookup of any new authorized images on the PA site. So, as more covers become available, it'll be able to download them, without me doing any other updates. (I was keeping a hardcoded list, no more!)

ooh, fancy!
Now you'll just have to update every time the lookup format changes! :-P
Out of curiosity since I'm far to lazy to find it in the code, does it date-check the downloaded zips or nevermind I'm an idiot, you host the book data and it attaches to each release. >.<

ooh, fancy! Now you'll just have to update every time the lookup format changes! :-P It's been standardized now, so any additions ought to be in the new format, and be found by the "wildcard" (it's not entirely wild... but follows the new format in a very generalized way.)
