Each finite graph on n vertices determines a special (n − 1)-fold
covering graph that we call TheCover. Several equivalent definitions
and basic facts about this remarkable construction are presented.
In particular, the connectivity, k-connectivity, bipartiteness, hamiltonicity,
planarity are studied.
By studying automorphisms of such covers we also understand the
structure of their automorphism group.
We also show that TheCover of a 3-connected graph X is never a regular
covering of X.
