not until now. But I was expecting this problem, too. I tried to
propose this 'image'-approach as an official extension of the GBS-API
through Googles BookAPI-Newsgroup, but didn't get a reaction... :-(

On the other hand it would be quite easy to implement a local GBS
availability cache consisting of ISBN and the 'full/partial'
information of a given title - without any further contents of GBS...

Regards,

Oliver
