wildcard ISBN search? #105

Closed fredzannarbor closed 2 years ago

fredzannarbor commented 2 years ago

Hello,

is it possible to do wildcard searches to find ISBNs with particular prefixes, e.g. Ukraine = 978-617*? . Is it then possible to sort them by ISBN issue date, so as to get the latest books published in that region?

Thanks. The short answer is NO! The only general source for this information is Google Books API and I don't see how implement this feature with the current version of the API.
