Now that I have had some extra time, I looked into this, and came up with the plugin Generate Cover, and Metadata Jackets.

Unless I am not reading the correct forums, I am not seeing what I am interested in doing. From a quick browse of the Generate Cover PI, It generates a custom Book Jacket with whatever information you would like.

What I am looking at trying to do is to keep my downloaded/or Original Book cover and then either before or after as a separate page that is custom made, very much the way the "insert metadata as a page at the start of a book"

Very much the way it is laid out is good I just would like to do away with the border completely around the author, title, rating, tag and remove the color so that the background is white.

Much like it is in the comment area, Making it uniform.

Maybe frame it with a header and footer line as well as the already implemented division line above the comment field

I would like to be able to remove the Publisher info and instead of Tag field use my own Genre Custom column instead (also not sure what it is printing the tags twice once in black and once in white)

I attached a screenshot of what it currently looks like
