Book Catalog

Hi, guys!
I am looking for a way to display lists of books in categories. I want to have the cover with zoom option, the title + author, price, short description and option the whole description to be displayed separately but not in a different page. something like “more info” button or text box aside. I have tried the wordpress.org/extend/plugins/catablog/ but the description aside the picture shows the whole text and it takes too much space. And also an option to modify thumbnails size, display, quality, etc
We like this but without going outside our website or having side bar:

Any advise will be helpful!
