Any information about how Open Library deals with PUT requests internally would also be extremely helpful! For example:
* If the JSON object sent to Open Library includes a new value for an existing key (adding more stuff to the "subjects" array, for instance), will that value be updated in the expected way? * If the JSON object includes an entirely new field (like Goodreads and LibraryThing identifiers for a book that doesn't have them listed yet), will the new field be appended to the end of the Open Library object? * Will sending a JSON object that *only* includes new or changed fields do something bad, like replace the original Open Library object with the new, incomplete object? * Would it be possible to see a sample cURL request that saves things successfully to Open Library? There's a gap in the docs<http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/restful_api#save>where this would go.
