Show Default book cover if cover is unavailible #3

By appending ?default=false at the end of each image, the cover API can return a 404 rather than a blank image. Use this 404 with a javascript fallback to show a default book cover instead.

Will need a default book cover. Maybe something old-timey like what pops up when you google vintage book cover. Best case scenario we also cycle between a few different options. Alternatively one can be custom designed.

I have taken just a random image off google for the image for now, but I'm going to leave this issue open in case anyone wants to design a book cover or has a better suggestion or anything.
