More importantly, it is the amazon API that allows me to collect the book cover images so I can display them in the first place, so it is only fair that I give them a little love back. The coverpop site also contains many non-amazon mosaics, here are just a few: Vintage Women's Magazines: http://www.coverpop.com/pop/womens/ Mad Magazine: http://www.coverpop.com/pop/mad/ Stick Figures in Peril: http://www.coverpop.com/pop/flickr_stickfigures/ If you know of other good sources of book cover images that would make great coverpops, let me know!

If you know of other good sources of book cover images
that would make great coverpops, let me know!

I run the Association of Booksellers for Childre, a national trade group of indie children's booksellers. (250+ stores). We would love to promote this, but it links to Amazon only, which presents some problems for us. Any possibility we could get you to link to www.booksense.com as well? Or do sales from Amazon support your site. Business concerns aside, this is an amazing piece of art and proramming, and I'm going to let members know about it so they can enjoy it too. best, Kristen McLean kristen@abfc.com I love this.

When you're raising a family, there is never enough revenue. :) Hi Reji,
