Found: /books shows three books represented by emoji icons instead of actual cover images. No book cover images exist.

Gap: Book covers are a primary visual identifier for an author site. Emoji placeholders look like a prototype, not a published authors site.

Needs:

  • Create or obtain cover images for The Soil Beneath the Code and A Walk in Mentoring
  • For Dark Provenance: use a Coming Soon cover or placeholder design
  • WebP format, responsive sizes
  • Alt text with title and author
  • Consider: 3D book mockup renders for visual impact
