IIRC between 1 and 2 queries are made per book. Two if the initial query with isbn fails, then a query with only title and author is made.

And per query if there is more than one page of results, a query has to be made for every page > 1 (upto 10 pages). Presumably isbndb started counting pagination queries as separate queries.

The ISBNdb plugin was last changed in June 2012.
