I've changed the links in the cover thread to https - hope that might make the links work for everyone. If you still have trouble tell us what browser etc you are using.

Can I use this image? I read the use page carefully and it seems to say that I can. What is your opinion?

On first reading it seems OK - you can credit it and the cover will have other things on it so anyone wanting to sell a poster of a tank woyld not use it - and it would be too small (and all they would need to do is go to the website and download a high res picture. Let me check with some more legally minded people.

Agreed. Not only to entice volunteers, but to acknowledge Librivox as the source of so many FREE audiobooks. Name recognition is fundamental to every product, free or otherwise.

Society as I Have Found It
This book is close to being finalized and needs a cover.

Just a suggestion: This page might contain a link to the page where one can make a claim. I have contributed many covers for my own readings, but not once have I seen such a page; my administrator has always made my claims for me, and that is really not something the administrator should have to do.

The link to claim cataloged projects is in the first post.

There is no link to claim in-progress projects, such as in your case. That must be done through a post, so that we don't have to go in and clean up inappropriate claims (people who don't know better who may pre-claim projects they're not entitled to pre-claim).

The word "claim" does not appear in a search of this forum. It appears many times on the page that led me here but never with any explanation of how to make a claim to create a cover. Administrators have kindly made claims for me, so I have been able to contribute many covers for my own readings, but I was hoping to be able this time to make the claim myself, possibly even to create covers for the work of others. Yet I have poked around in the website for 45 minutes with never a clue.

The First Post could easily be made more explicit, thus:
PRECLAIMING A COVER: If you are a BC of a group project or a soloist who wishes to create your own cover for your project, . . . . .

I find that our First Post explanations are often not so clear to a new person as to one who knows the rules by heart.
