Thanks Mark! Adding those things to my TODO. This is literally my first ever program that I wrote on my own. So this little script is the equivalent of that first wobbly table that a kid makes in woodworking. I’m just happy that it works!
I actually noticed that there are some not-so-obscure ISBNs that meta can’t find. But there are some other tools in isbnlib for finding books so I’ll look into that as well. A little background on why I made this. I have a list of books read/to read on Goodreads that I wanted to import easily into my TiddlyWiki. I also have an xml file of exported posts from Wordpress that I’d like to import to my TW. Now that I know it’s possible I’ll get working on a script that can do that next (unless someone knows of something that can already do that).
