Recently, we replaced the useless image alt text for Amazon cover images in
Bootstrap with better image alt text.

However, in terms of accessibility standards (e.g. WCAG) and accessibility
needs, we're still not quite up to snuff.

WCAG standard: http://www.w3.org/standards/webdesign/accessibility

Text from user with accessibility needs: "I'd want to see it say it is a cover
of (title) and maybe the link info i.e. like you're saying view on amazon. So I
was trying to imply that same method would hold true for most images, say you
have a photo of a statue, you'd say statue of (statue name/description) links
to (whatever it links to maybe larger version)."

I think that something like the following would be the best alt text we could
use:

"Cover of <resource title>. View on Amazon.com"
