How does iTunes/iPhone determine what artwork to attribute to a compilation?

I put 10 mp3 files into audiobooks, and changed them to audiobooks, (they were hour-long music podcasts and iCloud wouldn't allow them, and they would cause a 'time-out' when syncing) and put them under one book. I changed them all to the same author ('Girlfriend Mixes'), set genre to audiobooks, basically reset any info I could to be uniform among the 10 files.

I'd like to know how iTunes determines what artwork to show as the 'cover' of the book? It had been the 5th file, or chapter in the book. I didn't like that picture so I changed the picture in #5 and the book cover did change. Then, I must have done something - I don't know what - and the cover became #3.

Rather than reset all the files' artwork, I would like to change the 'cover art' for the book and not each individual chapter. Thank you.
