Anyway, Sam, please continue the development of the Ws-search. I just played with it a bit, but I find this to be an excellent tool for 1. importing data from WS to WD 2. *maintaining* WD up to date
Point 2 is important as point 1. Maintenance is impossible if you can't do queries on WD or a system to "check" if your book is on WD or not.
