**Show Placeholder Cover On**

Mooberry Book Manager uses a placeholder cover in places where a book does not have a book cover set. This option lets you turn the placeholder image on or off for Book Pages and Widgets.

**Placeholder Cover Image**

This is where you can set the actual image used for the placeholder cover. Mooberry Book Manager comes pre-installed with a default placeholder cover.

**Book Cover Ribbons**

You can choose to have ribbons displayed on the corner of you books if they are Coming Soon (not yet published) or New (recently published). Whether a book is considered Coming Soon or New is based on the **Release Date** you have entered for the book (NOT the date you enter it into Wordpress).

The ribbon will look like this:
