Yeah. I could maybe track some things down if I used a combination of APIs (from isbndb) and page scraping (searches from amazon, librarything, etc.) but it just wouldn't be very reliable.

I've just finally managed to hunt down the full list of The Destroyer series, for example, since no book shop has even the list, let alone the books.
