Hi Héctor,

Thanks again for you work looking into this. It looks like the local cover
images not having a proper placeholder is a bug as a 1x1 pixel image is
returned. There is a bug that addresses this at:
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11602

I'm aware that there is whitespace under the cover image (or images if you have
more than one source turned on). This is by design, IMO it makes the page look
less cluttered. Having a narrower column for the main details is not
necessarily a bad thing, there are studies that say that slightly narrower
columns are easier to read (see e.g.
http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/13724/recommended-column-width-for-text-reading-digital-vs-printed).

I had a look at porting some of the changes to NOMARC and UNIMARC but I'm a bit
leery of messing with them as I'm not sure I'm grokking some of the data
structures. I could help with porting the changes from this patch to those
systems as a later patchset. In the meantime, those systems will still get some
but not all of the changes from this patch: the cover image column, larger font
size for the authors, ratings controls moved up under the authors. They won't
get the item summary moved up and the larger font sizes for series, summary and
item type.

I have made one change in the most recent update. The 773 data in
MARC21slim2OPACDetail.xsl is moved back down to its original location. I had
moved it up along with the summary field, but I don't think any more that they
need to move together, and leaving it in its original position reduces the
scope of this change.

I don't unfortunately have any credentials either, but I am checking with my
colleagues if we can shoulder tap someone who does to do a bit more testing on
that front. 

Thanks,

Jen
