Going along with Jonathan Rochkind, Amazon does a good job of supplying some movie images. Also in general, WorldCat, if that's an option to you.

Corrado Sent: Monday, March 16, 2009 2:38 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [CODE4LIB] Free cover images? Hello all, We are reevaluating our source of cover images. At this point I have identified four possible sources of free images: 1. Amazon 2. Google Books 3. LibraryThing 4. OpenLibrary I know that their is some question if the Amazon and Google books images will allow this (although I've also yet to hear Amazon or Google telling libraries that use their Web services for this to cease and desist). However, besides that issue, has anyone noticed any technical problems with any of these four? I'm especially concerned about slow and/or non-consistent performance. Edward
