This extension will insert a bockjacket image on to a page.  It uses the 'isbns' meta value to capture an, ISBN10, value to pass to the src element of the img element it inserts.
This is not a sophisticated extension.  It relies upon observed patterns in Amazon URLs with help from this blog post. 
WARNING: Amazon.com have usage terms defined on their site.  Just inserting an image on a page may contravene these terms.  You may have to include links to Amazon services to comply with their terms.
