SUMMARY
On OpenLibrary, the "description" field is usually filled in with a summary of the book or with the content of the back cover.

Perhaps Tellico could fill in the "Plot Summary" field with the content of the "description" field returned by the API for the book.
And if this field is empty for the book, then retrieve the content of the "description" field for the work?

Note that there is the same problem with the "description" field as with the "notes" field: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=509062

Example of OpenLibrary entries with the "description" field filled in for the work and for the book :
