What's with the Amazon image link?
Why do you have an amazon image link that appears at the top of each book page?
http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/057506403X.01._AA240_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg
This doesn't seem to serve much purpose visually and I have noticed that some links take you to a blank page. I also noticed the Book Data template page says:
- The "photo=" attribute should now be deprecated – use "cover=" instead.
Does this have something to do with the issue I read about copyright concerns? If yes, then using the non-free fair use guidelines (as used on wikipedia) can be applicable using low-res images and applying the correct license.
Additionally, I have a template suggestion I would like to run through with admin that I believe will improve the book infoboxes. -- CelticWanderer talk contribs edits 23:17, 8 June 2013 (GMT)

- I have a basic knowledge of creating templates, nothing as complicated as on Wikipedia or other extensive wikis. My suggestion was for a complete revamp that doesn't include the 'HiddenStructure' parameter. I was going to include a proposed template to my subpages to see what people thought but alas, I cannot create pages! -- CelticWanderer talk contribs edits 23:56, 8 June 2013 (GMT)
