Description

### Describe the problem that you'd like solved

The Book Page should be more useful in answering questions that patrons have. This should be included in our design research in 2023.

Here are some predictions I have about questions people ask:

* Do I want to read this book?
* What is this book about? (tags, topics, etc)
* What is a summary of this book?
* What is the wiki context about this book?
* What or how do others feel about this book? What are they saying (on e.g. twitter)?
* How popular is the book (how many and which people have read)?
* Is this book available for borrow?
* Is a preview available? Quotes, excerpts?
* Who wrote this book and what else have they written?
* Which likely good books are similar
