Re: [CODE4LIB] Any web services that can help sort out this for me.
Following on Dave's recommendation, you could also use Google Books' Data API [1]. Search for the book, get a structured ATOM feed as a response, presume the first hit is your book, and then follow the ATOM feed link for that books' metadata. It isn't going to be perfect; I'd be interested to know the end ratio of perfect versus missed matches.
