Hi there

I do some work on Koha, can i just check something with you .. what do you
mean by book descriptions? 
Im sure we can make Koha show them ... if you think it is a feature that
lots of ppl would like. We are pretty close to another Koha release .. if
book descriptions are physical dimensions im sure i can get that showing in
about 5 mins.
If its like a plot summary .. we'd need that data of course but that would
also not be hard.
Physical desciptions already show in the librarians koha interface ..
perhaps its a matter of them showing in the opac??

Just interested in your opinions :-)

Chris
