Describe the Feature/Enhancement

When you are looking at a library (e.g. Non-Fiction → Library) and you have Collapse Series enabled, combined series shows up with a number in the upper-right corner and the first book of the series shown. It would be nice to have a collage of images of several books in the series as a indicator as well, but it should be allowed or disallowed as a server option.

Why would this be helpful?

Series is already indicated by a number in the upper right corner, but it can sometimes be hidden away. A collage of images, similar to that already used for playlists, would be a extra visual clue.

This would eliminate one of my favorite things about ABS after migrating from Plex! Plex uses a 4-up view like you're requesting, and it's terrible for any series that doesn't include at least four audiobooks.

I would much rather see a variation on the series view used for playlists, personally, in which covers are added side-by-side, rather than in a grid.
