Information about books from ISBN

[jnv]

Get basic information about book from a bookstore, e.g.: title, description, price, cover image, link.

Providers:

• Google Books
• ISBNdb
• Penguin Random House (presumably only for their books)
• British National Bibliography
• Worldcat - seems to be limited only to library subscriptions
• Amazon - there seem to be various 3rd party providers, Amazon itself seem to only provide API for sellers; Calibre just straight out scrapes Amazon
• LibGen... well...

Surprisingly there aren't many easy / cheap / accessible providers for this, looks like the de facto way of obtaining these data is through scraping.
