So, when you edit your eBooks, and they are missing the metadata you want, do you just give up?
So we are seeing a digitally generated image and expected to accept it as representative of reality. Given that original image shows book titles such as Art, Poetry and History while many of the books do not have any text on the spine, that image seems to lack that certain je ne sais quoi as a good example of what you might see on a pbook shelf.

Or are you perhaps suggesting that we should visit a local bookstore and take photos of the spines of any books that we have/might be interested in obtaining/are just blown away by the sheer beauty of the spine.

If you had specified a reliable source for spine images for ebooks as supplied by the publisher/creator/whatever, your post might be worth reading. As it is, your non sequitur about missing metadata is rather laughable. I don't expect my ebooks to come with weight, height, thickness or width as part of their metadata for instance though some of my pbook purchases do have such information available.

I am rather surprised that no one has suggested the OP pay for a copy of Alfa Book Manager. He could enjoy 3-D models of his ebooks.
