Several times when I go to a book page, there is no cover image showing. When I click on "edit details", there is a cover image available. Is there anything I as a librarian can do to have the cover image show on the book page? One example is the following: "Manaconda" ISBN: 1843609320 ISBN13: 9781843609322

Mod

Each image has 3 sizes. Sometimes, only one or two of the 3 is uncorrupted, especially if the image is being hosted by Amazon. Since the book page update changed which of the 3 is now visible on that page, this has recently become more visible. Just save the image (as an in-case) and delete it -- 90% of the time it will repopulate from Amazon, which restores all 3 sizes. And if it doesn't, re-upload the saved version, which will also restore the different versions.

I got that one.

Ah, that is an easy way. For some reason today I've been noticing a lot of broken images. I thought it might be my (new) browser.
