Imagine such list views in a file manager or app to sort photos, much more difficult to use without an image. E.g., if I have 10+ copies each of a widely translated work such as The Iliad or The Mahabharata, seeing creators publisher cover etc greatly helps sorting though multiple editions.

On my system, the cover image would be about 20x20 pixels. It's going to be hard to recognize the book cover at that size and I am not willing to sacrifice the number of lines I see to allow for a larger image. You already have ability to display the book details panel where you can see a much larger book cover image. See the attached image for a 13x20 image of a book cover.
