Just as an idea, adding overlay stamps to it. Something like "Recommended by developers", "Only for limited time", or just a lens flare effect.

Good idea :)

#43radius only apply to the back cover in firfox https://i.imgur.com/nv6locC.png (works as expected in chrome)
excellent work otherwise

#44Very nicely done. Consider adding a slider that controls a neural net that generates the content of the book as well. ;)

#45What would really blow me away is if you could set the text on the cover with CSS too, and then just drop in a background image behind it.

It’s totally feasible, but cover generator is a lot of complexity to add: you want to be able to move the text, resize it, change the color, add some other text, etc.
Many websites are doing it a lot better than I can (in a weekend), but it’s definitely something that I would do in the future.

#47as the thickness of the book grows the cover doesn't also grow. towards the end of the scale the contents are taller than the cover.

#48Really cool! I can probably add this to my personal book app to make things look a bit nicer: https://books.j11g.com/
This is really nice. I have a personal book library app too, also in PHP/MySQL, though as a former library employee I ended up focusing more on cataloguing and checkout. (I import from the Library of Congress API rather than Amazon, for example.)
Also, I wrote a bunch of me-specific hacks and am still working on patching all those out (ten years later, lol) with the intention of making it usable to others and publishable as a Sandstorm app.
I'm also still in the process of open sourcing it, mostly for some of the same reasons you mentioned. Right now my library-specific code is open sourced but the core framework I built it on top of is not yet: I've only recently begun modernizing the security code.
I would love to see your code someday if you ever get around to sharing it though!
