 * I don’t suppose there’s a way to automatically pull that nice description from
   OpenLibrary is there?

 * Here are the current template elements available for adding. Some were still 
   being added by Open Library, but I haven’t checked in a while. Send me an example,
   and I will have a look if an update is available.

 * This is the list of current template elements: [http://code.google.com/p/openbook4wordpress/wiki/templateelements](http://code.google.com/p/openbook4wordpress/wiki/templateelements).
 * But as stated above, post an example from Open Library of the description you
   want to use.

 * on this page, for example [http://openlibrary.org/works/OL98587W/The_house_of_mirth](http://openlibrary.org/works/OL98587W/The_house_of_mirth),
   the “About the Book” paragraph is what I was looking for. The text is:
 * > Beautiful, intelligent, and hopelessly addicted to luxury, Lily Bart is the
   > heroine of this Wharton masterpiece. But it is her very taste and moral sensibility
   > that render her unfit for survival in this world.

 * I have requested an update to the api from Open Library. It may take some time.
