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

get work descriptions through the Open Library API? 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.
