Currently if I search for example on 'options' in title and select 'show only eBooks', the results are the works listed in the results. To get the books, I have to select each works page. Search Results 182 hits 182 hits Only ebooks [x] Options by O. Henry 39 editions (6 ebooks) - first published in 1909 Read Options by Peter Ritchken 2 editions (1 ebook) - first published in 1987 Borrow Options by Douglas Alan Walrath 2 editions (1 ebook) - first published in 1988 DAISY … and the rest. What I want is all the books in one page, with the count of Ebooks, not a count of the works. Like this: 192 results (this is the count of ebook results, not the number of works) 1909, Doubleday, Page & co. for Review of Reviews co. Options in English works/OL181959W/Options books/OL24178092M/Options 1920, Doubleday, Page, for Review of reviews co.

I showed the first 8 results from the first 3 works. I had to go through 3 pages, one for each work. So is there any way to search open library and get results like that? Or do I have to get book pages for each work? I can program it the multiple page way too, but the single page of results will be much easier to work with. You say "program it," but also talk about pages as if they're web pages (ie HTML). Are you using the API? http://openlibrary.org/search.json?has_fulltext=true&title=options It's kind of hidden, but the ebook information is in there. If you look at docs[0].ia for example, it's got this list of Internet Archive keys which matches the ebook_count: ia: [ * "optionsohenry00henriala", * "optionso00henruoft", * "optionshenryo00henriala", * "optionsroseof00henrrich", * "cu31924022025807", * "optionso00henrrich" ], ebook_count_i: 6, You can construct the IA URLs by hand or call the API again with a list of edition IDs to get the preview URLs built for you: http://openlibrary.org/api/books?bibkeys=OLID:OL7137392M,OLID:OL23767475M,OLID:OL7012644M Tom
