I see that we're pulling book covers using the Open Library Books API:

http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/api/books

...which appears to only be able to pull the small thumbnail. On the other
hand, there's the Open Library Covers API:

http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/api/covers

...which appears to work much like Amazon covers in that there's a defined URL
for each cover image in each size available:

http://covers.openlibrary.org/b/oclc/28419896-S.jpg
http://covers.openlibrary.org/b/oclc/28419896-M.jpg
http://covers.openlibrary.org/b/oclc/28419896-L.jpg

I'd be interested in hearing about why it was decided not to use the latter to
pull covers.
