OMG! Two days away and you've brainstormed into new feature!

Meanwhile I had some thoughts in favor of link in the comments:
- Jon Smith writes romance as Myra Flameheart, but SF as Jonas Steel
- Author's name has no DOB/DOD

So I would make a link showing:
Jon Wilbur Smith 1900-2000
and clicking it opens epub (if I can make one) or word file.
Into it I'd paste info from wikipeda or whatever - picture, *brief* bio of author with all the pen-names, awards won (with pictures)...

Listing all his work would be great, only some authors have so very much!
I definitely want to note first appearance (like, appeared in several issues of magazine in 1962, book came out 1963), awards won and if I have it. Right now I'm noting that info in comments of every book, though some of it could stay in comments.

I hardly ever look on book details window (have sometimes accidentally doubleclicked on the panel), but Book Details panel is always open.
