ISBNdb Metadata Download ?
Configuring Metadata Download, I just noticed that for isbndb.com, downloaded metadata fields include only comments and publisher. I'd been assuming that more fields were available from there.
If my book record contains no isbn10 or isbn13, will a grab from isbndb based on author/title return isbn13? Or any metadata at all? Edit: I'd thought I was certain that was one of the places my empty ISBNs were being filled from? Last edited by unboggling; 08-17-2011 at 03:41 AM. |

Those are the only ones that can be turned off. title, author and isbn cannot be turned off.

It could, but it really isn't worth the effort to me. Patches welcome.
