In a pinch, you can use our mirrored copy:  http://api.talis.
.com/stores/openlibrary/items

Lucene syntax applies.  Results are in RSS 1.0.  For fielded queries, you
can use title, author, contributor, type (rdf:type), etc.

There's also a SPARQL endpoint (s/items/services\/sparql) if you want to
search on isbn, lccn, etc.
