When it comes to data layout I find it very difficult to picture things in my head. It's not until I see a prototype that I start to have those "any fool can see that this would be better ..." feelings. I've been wrestling all week rearranging the GUI layout of a personal calibre plugin, trying to get a quart into a pint pot.

Having 2 columns sounds pretty good. Thinking out loud, if I was designing a rough prototype for myself I would start with the Left being wider than the Right and I would populate the Right only with my short metadata fields like #Pages and PubDate(YYYY) and possibly anything in date-format. Which are the 'short fields' would, of course, vary wildly by person.
