I'm having problems linking to ISBNs that have been added to Open Library in 
the past few days.  These are cases where I've created a new work or a new 
edition of an existing work.  In only one case -- the third one below -- where 
the ISBN already existed in Open Library -- is the Open Book plugin for 
WordPress ISBN working.  In the other two cases, I'm getting "[No Book Data for 
this Book Number]".  If I search for ISBN in the advanced search interface of 
the Open Library website, it will find the work and edition.


[openbook booknumber="9780596809799" 
publisherurl="http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596809799";] <br clear="all" />

[No Book Data for this Book Number]


[openbook booknumber="9781449303228"

[No Book Data for this Book Number]

For the one that does work, the API call made by the Open Book plug-in seems to 
be:

  
http://openlibrary.org/api/books?bibkeys=ISBN:9780596557270&jscmd=data&format=json

It returns an Open Library JSON object.  For the one that doesn't work, the API 
call made by the Open Book plug-in seems to be:

  
http://openlibrary.org/api/books?bibkeys=ISBN:9781449303228&jscmd=data&format=json

It returns an empty JSON object.

Am I missing something obvious?
