This policy in a Nutshell

Files for book covers should follow a consistent naming system.
Files for book covers should be sized consistently.

For the sake of consistency, book cover images have a few requirements.

Naming Convention Preferences

For ease of use, naming conventions for book cover images are preferred.

Standard North-American format: SeriesTag-#.extention
Alternative language/version format: SeriesTag-#-LanguageTag.extention
Small Image Format: as above but include ‘SM-‘ before the rest of the name
Back Cover format: as above but include ‘BK-‘ before the rest of the name.
Box Sets format: as above but include 'BS-' before the rest of the name.

Series Name Conventions

These should be used where the Format reads 'SeriesName'

Original Arc:OS
The New Prophecy: NP
Power of Three: PO3
Omen of the Stars: OTS
Dawn of the Clans: DTC
A Vision of Shadows: VOS
Field Guide: FG
Super Edition: SE
Lost Warrior: LW
Tigerstar and Sasha: TS
Ravenpaw's Path: RP
The Rise of Scourge: TROS
SkyClan and the Stranger: SS

Language/Version Tag Conventions

To be used where the name says 'LanguageTag'

If the North-American paperback version differs from the hardback version then 'PB' should be used here. The audio versions of these should use the tag 'Audio' The inside covers of some verions - if different from the dustcover - should use the tag 'Inside'

Box Sets

Where the name says '-#-', this should be filled in with the numbers of the books in the set. (ie. 1-6 or 1-3)
