I speak Japanese, so I'm not aware of any search engines for book covers in other languages.

At least for Japanese books, I know of a service called "Hanmoto.com".

Can you recommend a search engine for book covers in various languages, including English?

Reddit has a collection of links from communities on the same topic, but I'd like to create my own list here.

Unless the book is obscur, you can usually find the cover by typing the book name and adding "cover" as the keyword on Google.
