Hi, Josh.

I assume by local you probably mean images that for some reason could not be 
added or updated in OpenLibrary. Otherwise I certainly would recommend 
adding/updating covers in OpenLibrary whenever possible, since it’s 
open-access.

I haven’t tested, but just reading through - it’s easy to follow and understand 
the instructions. Minor typo under "Create 3 different sized versions of the 
image in png or jpg format” the third bullet item “large” should be “Large”. I 
didn’t think there was a need to fork just for this typo.

I think practically speaking you’re right, unless a separate section is added, 
e.g., <http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.7/_local_added_content.html> immediately 
following 
<http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.7/_including_external_content_in_your_public_interface.html>.
 Local content does not quite fit into the definition of ”external”, but I 
don’t think that it matters fundamentally.

BTW, have you tested what happens if you use an external provider and then 
plaster a local image using the same id for which there is already an image 
from the external provider? Does local take precedence over external?
