<h4>Usage</h4>
<ul>
<li>First of all, you should know the book’s ISBN. Usually, it is on the back of the book near by bar-code.</li>
<li>Then add the bookcover markup to your post like the following.</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li>[bookcover:1932394613]</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li>[bookcover:1932394613(Ajax In Action)] </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>It is converted to  markup. So you can control the style in your css file. </li>
</ul>
<h4>Preview</h4>
<ul>

</ul>
<h3>Known issues</h3>
<ol>
<li>There are ISBNs that ended with ‘x’ not a number. In that cases, you should take care of the case sensitivity of the ‘x’, because some book store use<br />
the lower case ‘x’ for their image file name, and some the upper case. So, try one, and if it fail try another.</li>
<li>There is no validation check on plugin configuration page. So you can submit with empty country code and empty URI. It makes default URI for other<br />
country code null.</li>
</ol>
