I would like to suggest the addition of a new/unique/local field for the no isbn books covers.

For example 99x field or something else.Marc fields range gives us a lot of options.

So when the book has no isbn and we can't have the relation between 020$a and the cover, we may add the new field 99x, where we can type something like Pedro said NOISBN1 etc and then place the relevant image to the cover's folder.

In short terms the system may work as below:

If 020$a has ISBN --> show cover
If 020$a doesn't exist --> call the field 99x$a --> show cover
If 020$a doesn't exist and 99x$a doesn't exist --> no cover

-----

I suggest this idea because many libraries may don't appreciate their ISBN information in the webopac to display NOISBN1, NOISBN2 etc.
