Well it uses the Amazon API for all the database calls.. I figure they would have a decent database :) I could not find any other databases that I could use that were even close to that size..

I will try to think of something :)

Eep. Didn't realise until I looked myself, but it onyl accepted one of my two dozen Terry Pratchett novels - and the worst of them, at that ("Eric").

Well one of my original ideas was to allow for manual entry for books that were not in the database.. But I did not think most people would want to enter in all the details for every book they had :P

If you don't mind, would you take one of the ISBNs (for a book not found by my site), and see if Amazon can find it by the ISBN number?

If it finds it there, maybe my code has a bug, since it should have everything Amazon has.

I'll try tomorrow, or next chance I get.

EDIT: They don't have it. But, the 'Showing Off' thread is proof that it exists.
