User feedback when Github rate limit exceeded for unauthenticated users #160

Description

Hello OERPub team. I ran into this issue today and figured it would have been nice to receive some sort of warning / notification without having to dig into Chrome dev tools. When I went to demo the book editor without logging into my Github account, I hit their rate limit:

{
message: "API rate limit exceeded for XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)",
documentation_url: "http://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting"
}

The current behavior in the UI is to tell the user that the demo-book bookshelf is invalid (please select another), which was confusing and not entirely accurate...
