I am reporting the following accessibility issues about iBook for MacOS. Not 
that in the case of some unreachable controls I have enclosed the Accessibility 
Inspector information which should aid in correcting theses issues. I would 
point out that the Accessibility Inspector is able to quickly tell a developer 
if a control is accessible or not.

1. VoiceOver reading of a book does not turn the pages of the books as they are 
read.

2. Book cover images do not have title/author information. This could be 
corrected by implementing IPTC captions on the images. A work around is to 
insure that the Show Titles option is in the view menu is set.

3. The bookstore is listed as a window even when it is not reachable with 
VoiceOver

4. The book reading window has a number of unlabelled buttons which are as 
follows:
