I'm OK with the idea as long as the images are small, only slightly
better than a thumbnail. This in order to avoid copyright issues.

What other info should we include? I was thinking of cover artists, for example.

I thought we could also include non-English editions in order to
become an comprehensive repository of bibliographic info. Other
websites have done some work in this area, but haven't sought to be
comprehensive - at least the last time I took a stroll through the
Lone Wolf community I didn't see any.
