There are 36 different texture backgrounds, and 36 label styles. Combined, this allows for 1,296 different book-styles to be to books with no covers. A book-style (texture and label) is each determined at run-time by one character (each)in the MD5 hash. This ensures that the same book-style cover is applied across different systems. There is also an Identicon graphic on the book-cover, which is derived from the books Title. This insures that books with identical titles will all share the same Idnenticon, however, if the underlying book data is different (i.e. year, edition, author) then they will each take on their own book-style.
