Yes, great idea! So, what would be the best link between the library
catalogs and the covers? Is the ISBN enough? If we don't have a
paperback cover, could we link to the cover for the hardback? etc. I'm
game to throw in my bib-metadata knowledge if needed. We would have to
get the publishers to agree on a CC license, and we'd need to get the
license image or link embedded in the cover image or linked to it in
some way.

OK, I'm jumping ahead myself now. Need to go take a few deep breaths.
