[Web4lib] A million free covers, from LibraryThing

After releasing all our series, award prizes and such, we've now
released all our covers. See the blog:

I really hope this—or more probably what comes of this—ends the
selling of covers to libraries. Data companies are great. People want
data more and more every year. There are a million ways of making
money off selling to this need. (We're no Bowker, but we too make some
money off selling data.) But covers need to drop out the bottom and
become free.
