You need to follow 2 redirections to reach the author. book to work and work to
the author.
Yes, it requires lot of processing to get that info. Will it be more useful if
there is a dump with the work and the author data duplicated in each edition
record?
Like this:
{
"key": "/books/OL1M",
"title": "...",
"works": [{
"key": "/works/OL1234W",
"authors": [{
"author": {
"key": "/authors/OL1A",
"name": "...",
...
}
}],
...
}],
...
}
Or a dump in the format of OL Books API?
