Open Library

You may have noticed that we've been linking to Open Library from our book reviews. Open Library is a project of the Open Archives Initiative that seeks to create one web page for every book ever published. Why? You can get so much more from Amazon, right? Sort-of. But you can't locate the book in a local library (WorldCat) and you can't support independent bookstores or fund public libraries in Bolivia (biblio.com).

We're also using Open Library to import book covers:
