I also think it's important to include the title and author in the text - not to just rely on the cover image. Some people can only read the text, not see the images. The images ought to be a supplement to the message, not a substitute.

Have to agree with both of you!

Images also just take unnecessary band width adding nothing whatsoever to the the value of the posters comments / views of a particular book - which is the main point of this thread I thought.
