    I am attempting to use the Now Reading Plug in. I cannot get it to show images of books and it looks like it is grabbing the wrong header. Can anyone assist me with this?

    Which one? There was one awhile back that has been abandoned because the plugin author felt that the new version of AMM (Amazon Media Manager) did what his plugin did, and did it better. I believe that was this plugin:

    I wanted a currently listening indicator on my blog and I just used the custom key feature of WP to do so, then styled the little music bar gif that goes on it, which you can see at https://babygotblog.com

    You could do the same if you like for a book entry. But if you want an entire list, then I suggest you use either Amazon Media Manager or David Chait’s CGA (ChaitGear for Amazon) plugins. Both have their specific uses, and in fact, I am using AMM on my “Books” page and CGA on my “Music” page! (Who says a gal can’t have everything?!)

    It’s right, there were a few bugs in now reading (e.g. did it not work with some special chars in the books title or in the author name), so i patched it: https://leflo.de/2005/11/23/now-reading-21-patched/

    it’s possible to search for foreign books too.
