Q: iBooks Author and iBooks

I am developing a book using iBooks Author (Version 2.1.1). When the book is previewed on my iMac, the cover page (cover art) is displayed as a small image. When I click on the book's image, the cover art is displayed larger for just a moment and then the book's contents are displayed. Is there a way to see the cover page full size in iBooks under the iBooks Author Preview option?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

A Preview is simply a basic PDF.

I suggest you export as an .ibooks file, then check that version instead, however, I think you've described the default for this process and note that the cover is not displayed when using the book.

If that's what you want, see this IBA User Tip: iBA Tips and Tricks 01 / How to make the cover image remain visible after the user opens the book...
