The dataset contains 1,510 textbook cover images and 12,080 questionβanswer pairs, covering textual, semantic, spatial, and visual attributes of textbook covers. It provides a challenging benchmark for assessing VLM capabilities in text recognition, semantic understanding, spatial reasoning, and visual interpretation of educational book covers under realistic imaging conditions.Example of a real-world textbook cover image captured using a mobile camera
