Substitute? We were here first! :-)

Oy. You caught me with my pants down. Those URLs are quite old and
likely no longer work. I've posted a zip file containing the Default
Display plugin at

http://books.aetherial.net/downloads/DefaultDisplay.plugin.zip

This contains the CSS styling and the list of default fields
specified by the plugin.

Books dynamically generates these HTML files.

A single book page example:

<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="file://localhost/Users/cjkarr/Documents/
Xcode/Release/Books.app/Contents/Resources/DefaultDisplay.plugin/
Contents/Resources/stylesheet.css" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="book-definition">
<div class="book-title">Guilliver's Travels</div>
<div class="book-authors">Jonathan Swift</div>
<div class="book-genre">Literature</div>
<div class="book-format">Hardcover</div>
<div class="book-publisher">Easton Press</div>
<div class="book-listName">Unread Books</div>

</div>
</body>
</html>

Multiple books selected:

<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="file://localhost/Users/cjkarr/Documents/
Xcode/Release/Books.app/Contents/Resources/DefaultDisplay.plugin/
Contents/Resources/stylesheet.css" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="multiple-message">
<div class="multiple-title">Multiple Selection</div>

<div class="book-list">
<p class="booklist-item"><div class="booklist-title">Knights of the
Dinner Table: Origins '03 Special</div><div class="booklist-
authors"></div></p>
<p class="booklist-item"><div class="booklist-title">Voodoo Child
Rough Cut</div><div class="booklist-authors"></div></p>
<p class="booklist-item"><div class="booklist-title">Raiders of the
Lost Ark #3</div><div class="booklist-authors">Walter Simonson</div></p>
<p class="booklist-item"><div class="booklist-title">Super-Villain
Classics #1</div><div class="booklist-authors">Mark Gruenwald; Stan
Lee</div></p>
<p class="booklist-item"><div class="booklist-title">The A-Team #1</
div><div class="booklist-authors">Jim Salicrup</div></p>

</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

No books selected:

<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="file://localhost/Users/cjkarr/Documents/
Xcode/Release/Books.app/Contents/Resources/DefaultDisplay.plugin/
Contents/Resources/stylesheet.css" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="empty">
<div class="empty-message">Please select a book from above.</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

--

In each of these cases, Books fills in the stylesheet URLs and the
contents of the individual pages. For a single book, it generates a
list of fields. For multiple books, it generates a list of selected
books with author and title.

I need to document this better, but let me know if you need more
information to get going.
