Library Thing is not free of charge (and possibly not very free as in freedom, either), iirc. Certainly you can subscribe to Library Thing for Libraries and/or syndetics for cover images, and those are ok. But you still have a problem with covers for DVD's and such. Not that we could get dvd covers ever from openlibrary.
