There are optional plugins with "Hardcover" in their name, see Index of plugins.

I don't use them, mainly because they didn't exist when I catalogued my existing physical books. And I don't mind cataloguing new physical books manually, mainly via copy and paste from publisher site.

For me "All the time" - screen scraping is a hit-or-miss, imprecise kludge. A reminder of prettifying 3270 mainframe LOB applications 40 odd years ago….
