The Gutenberg books that are hosted on IA don't have marc records and aren't imported to OL: http://www.archive.org/details/gutenberg Also, I know books digitized from microfilm are also not imported into OL. About a third of the archive.org microfilm collection appears to be books: http://www.archive.org/details/microfilm There are 2.6M text items on archive.org, and "more than 2 million" imported into OL. The difference is mostly due to court docs (430K items) and microfilm (95K items). If you are currently querying the archive.org advanced search engine as an api, you can continue to do so. It returns results in JSON and XML, and will continue to be supported (scroll down for instructions): http://www.archive.org/advancedsearch.php -raj > > Hmm, maybe I'm better off just sticking with the hacky but mostly kind of > working solution I have now against IA directly. > > I'd like to use the OL Books api instead, yes, because of the added features > it offers, including lookup by identifiers like ISBN, and more clear response > as to what versions of full text may be available.
