A problematic book cover was mentioned in the NGC4LIB mailing list
(content of message below).

>From looking at the history of the record, the cover image was linked
automatically to the work in question. It might be worthwhile to
determine how that image made its way into the collection to be
associated with this particular work, and see if there are any other
parallel cases that could be ferreted out. (Thanks to Nicole Engard
for trashing the cover image in the current version of the record;
you'll have to go back to version 4 or 3 if you want to see the
details for the NSFW cover image).

Quality control on this front is a bit of a concern as we've just made
OpenLibrary the default cover + table-of-content provider for
Evergreen in the Evergreen 2.0 alpha release, and we'd like to be able
to advocate building on the current relationship with more
bi-directional content support.

Hi

Just wondering if anyone else is using OpenLibrary as a source for book covers?

If so, you might want to consider checking or moderating the images,
as we've just found an "interesting" book cover that probably isn't
appropriate for most library catalogues :-S

(please note the book cover in the following link might not be
considered "safe for work"!)
http://openlibrary.org/books/OL22772113M/
