Quick question guys, how do you attach the cover image to the comment?.... I'm so lost

In the upper corner of the box it says "add book/author" in green
Click that and a. Oh will pop up asking for reference
Type the book you're looking for and than click search
At the bottom it says " add: link or cover"
So click cover and when you find your book click add

Done!!!!!
