Frequently Asked Questions
Can I search by author or subject?
Yes. The search matches titles, authors and subjects, so you can search for a title like the lord of the rings, an author, or a topic.
Do records include an ISBN and a cover? Yes. Each record includes an ISBN where available and a link to a cover image.
What are subjects? Subjects are topic tags attached to the book, useful for grouping and recommendations. Each record includes the first several subjects.
How fresh is the data? Records are read live at run time, so each reflects the catalog at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
