I like the idea and the design, adding it to backlog for now (2019 roadmap is close to saturation and we have ~60 Priority 1 issues

Dropping to low as this is a feature request, and I want us to lay down some stronger frontend foundations before building out new things.

@jdlrobson I would like to work on this issue. Any guidance regarding what approach should I take? Edit: I think 2.5 books per page is fine. Should I go ahead and create a PR? image

As I outlined in https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/issues/2152#issuecomment-520164898 I don't think we should take on feature requests until the frontend is in a better technical state.
