I stored a self created multi-page pdf in High Sierra iBooks. Call it "MyPDFx.pdf".
I drug the pdf off to the desktop (creating a duplicate).
I created a new cover for my multi-page pdf, using a design app and saved the cover as a pdf.
In a pdf viewer I opened the duplicate pdf, deleted the old cover, added the new pdf cover. Saved and renamed the duplicate: "NewManual.pdf"
I go to iBooks. Select "MyPDFx.pdf" and delete the pdf. Quit iBooks.
Reopen iBooks. Add "NewManual.pdf" to the iBooks Library.
Here's the issue.
iBooks adds "NewManual.pdf" but with the same old cover.
But if I open this newly added pdf in iBooks, the new cover will read normally.
Closing "NewManual.pdf" the old cover image reappears in the library.

So my question is, does anyone know if there is a plist file, or an old cache file stored in all the iBooks folders somewhere that can be trashed, because iBooks does not update its cache or plist files, like regular files?

IN ADDITION: Is there an app that will allow me to watch "as I work", what individual files are changed in my User/Library folders.
