I've got a ton of quilting books I need to sell, but my digital photos are not coming out very well, plus I don't have a clue about how to edit photos. I see that some people here are able to find images of their book covers online and post them in their sale ads. I think it's via clipart, but I'm not sure.

How on earth is that done???

I think they are either taking a digital photo or scanning them.

you could go online and put the isbn number is to see if you can find an image. or just put the title. If they are not very old you should be able to find something.

ptquilts

go to Google, click on Images at the top, then enter book title. You should get a bunch to choose from, save to your desktop then use in your listing.

Just want to pop in with my thoughts here. I tend to not buy when the photo is not of the item I am buying. I learned that selling on eBay. I want to see the condition of the item I'm buying. Just my opinion...........

I have some books for sale right now.

Can you tell where the photos came from?


I would not use stock photos if my books looked in any way different from the photo.

Without a background image, they look like canned photos to me. But again, just my opinion.

ptquilts

they are stock photos, but I could get the same result by doing them on a scanner and cropping the photo. I used a scanner for years before getting a digital camera.
For something like a book a scanner works better than a camera.

do a search online for the book. if you find one, copy the link showing at the top of your computer and then post an ad and paste the copied link in the AD.
