When books have dust jackets, that front cover is shown. When they don't have dust jackets but have a non-blank front, that front is shown. Otherwise, the book spine is shown. Some of the books have custom dust jackets; in those cases, the custom cover spine is shown to make it easier to find the book on the shelf, as well as either the actual book front or spine. When a book has multiple volumes, the spines of all the volumes are shown, as well as one of the fronts, if they are non-blank.
