[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Book covers from Open Library

[Bill Erickson]

Committed to trunk.  http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS/changeset/13435

I haven't read the fine print for Open Library, but as Dan Scott suggested
in IRC, perhaps this would be a better default added content handler than
Amazon.

Thoughts?

Thanks, David!
