Description
I'm working on redesigning our site and would love to use the BookPost module when it is in production. The problem I am running into is whenever Open Library is unavailable (Which has been often) I receive this error and my page fails to load.
Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Open Library Data Unavailable'
Looking through several of the other issues I see where an updated version of this module hopes to cache this data so performance is improved. With the current version is there any way to have this module output a generic "Service is not available" message as opposed to producing an error that stops the page from loading?

Ditto on caching. I've worked with some PHP code on another project where queries to Amazon checked a local image cache and then went to Amazon for the bookcover (and cached the cover for future requests). That speeds up the process instead of making remote server calls over and over again.
