Feature suggestion: When adding a book manually then how about showing a pre-selection list for authors and publishers based on existing library? #33

Reading List app has a great feature to search for books from GoogleBooks search service. However, it often receives details about finnish books (I guess the same applies to many other non-english languages) months and years after a book was published. Therefore I have to add book details manually.

How about if the manual book addition screen would show a pre-selection list of existing author and publisher names based on the existing book library? I have several books from the same author and especially from the same publisher. This would make the manual addition a bit easier if the author and publisher is already "known" by the app.

Maybe a list of all existing items, but if I start to type author/publisher name then it would dynamically update the list based on the typed name (list contains a substring type of search to update the pre-selection list).

Anyway. Thanks for the possibility to have both search and manual addition features already.

Nice idea. Some kind of autocomplete would be handy. I'll look into this in due course.
