## Description

This plugin display the book cover image from ISBN. It has 3 pre-configured book
store whose images are used. The first is for Korean book (89), the second
 for 
Japan (4), and the others. You can change or add new book store URI in the plugin
configuration screen. And you can reset to default setting at anytime.

This plugin includes sidebar widget for book cover display, also.

#### Usage

 * First of all, you should know the book’s ISBN. Usually, it is on the back of 
   the book near by bar-code.
 * Then add the bookcover markup to your post like the following.
    - [bookcover:1932394613]
 *  - [bookcover:1932394613(Ajax In Action)]
 * It is converted to markup. So you can control the style in your css file.

#### Preview

 * [BookCover plugin test page](http://ideathinking.com/blog-v2/?p=72)

### Known issues

 1. There are ISBNs that ended with ‘x’ not a number. In that cases, you should take
    care of the case sensitivity of the ‘x’, because some book store use
     the lower
    case ‘x’ for their image file name, and some the upper case. So, try one, and if
    it fail try another.
 2. There is no validation check on plugin configuration page. So you can submit with
    empty country code and empty URI. It makes default URI for other
     country code 
    null.

## Installation
