To get that information you'll need to use at least the editions dump (5.1
GB) and the authors dump (1.2 GB), so you're not really saving much over
downloading the entire dump (and I'm not sure you won't need the works file
to get the author or subject/genre in certain cases). Since there were 77
million editions and 9.3 million authors as of last summer, and probably
more now, even your subset of info is still going to be of substantial size.
If you are unable or unwilling to download the dump and extract the desired
information yourself, you're going to need to get someone else to do it for
you. OpenLibrary only makes available the complete dump and the three
subsets (works, editions, authors).

Since you don't want the list of all books available on openlibrary.org
along
with their meta data, as your message stated, perhaps you could describe
exactly which metadata you do want and what you are willing to pay (in
bandwidth or time or dollars) to get it.

Hey,
Thanks for your reply.
I do not want to download the entire dump file (7-8 GB), I am just
looking for the list of the book titles and corresponding authors available
on openlibrary.

You could try Googling openlibrary dump and you'd probably find what
you seek.

Hi,
Is it possible to get the list of all books available on
openlibrary.org along with their meta data (e.g. ISBN, author,
genre)? Can it be downloaded as a csv or a mysql DB dump?
If not, what is the best possible way to gather such a list? I am
looking for a catalogue of all the book available on openlibrary.
Thanks,
Saurabh Kumar
