Abstract:  The books module is a place for favorite books to be placed.  Each book record has
an ISBN, Title, Authors, Price and Buy Link as well as a single thumbnail image.

ReadMe:
  The only confusing part of this module is the columns attribute.  This value is stored
in the rb_ModuleSettings table.  This value determines how many columns of books you
will have, or in other words how many books are shown per row.  If you have 12 books
and the columns value is set to 3, there will be 4 rows each having 3 books.

  The columns attribute can be altered through the collection properties.

Installation Instructions(both sdk and vs.net)
1:  Create a "books" folder in DesktopModules and place all of the files in there.
