As it is, the cover pops up right under the cursor, making you move the cursor to see details, and causing a different cover to pop up. I like the technique, although being able to winnow the set of covers displayed would also be very useful, as the icons are pretty darn small with all magazines included. Given that you are building different versions of these, that implies you don't have access to that level of dynamic construction. Nice work though. Thanks for making your work available.
