Description
### Feature Request
Dear OpenLibrary developers,
For undigitized books specifically, it would be great if it were possible to upload pictures of the table of contents.
For example, here are some pics of an undigitized, rare book's table of contents I found on an online marketplace that I think should be uploaded to and viewable on that book's OpenLibrary page (https://openlibrary.org/books/OL5742973M/La_bibbia_del_Forte_dei_Marmi.):
I appreciate you considering my suggestion.
