Great! I must have missed mention of this on the API information pages and so had just been extrapolating from the Books API and trying links like:http://openlibrary.org/api/works?bibkeys=OLID:OL42286W and not getting anywhere. So this is a big help. Are these descriptions mostly user created or are they coming from other sources. If so, what are the sources?Thanks for the quick help,Daryl

Specifically what I was hoping for was the "About the Book" section from the work page. Am I missing something? Or is this just not available now? You can use the Open Library API to get it. Here is an example. http://openlibrary.org/works/OL1957460W.json Anand _______________________________________________ Ol-tech mailing list [email protected] http://mail.archive.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ol-tech To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send email to [email protected]
