@jschnasse proposed to add a random book cover to the start page analogous to the random organization at https://lobid.org/organisations (see hbz/lobid-organisations#321).

There are different source to get book/journal covers:

Furthermore, there are different sources to get album and DVD covers:

Generally, I think we should first add a link to covers to our data (as others would perhaps like to use it as well) and then we could show a random picture on the start page.

As a low hanging fruit I propose to use http://lobid.org/download/dumps/DE-605/enrich/2de-dbpedia.ttl . There are ~6000 links to german dbpedia. These links are conservatively created to avoid false hits. I assume there are some hundreds of covers, e.g. http://de.dbpedia.org/resource/Der_Name_der_Rose.

edit: hm, seems covers are not in the data, see also http://dbpedia.org/resource/The_Name_of_the_Rose (which has the cover in the info box in the wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Name_of_the_Rose)
