Thanks Tim. I noticed the service and It thought your script was small and just does all it needs to do. Pasted it into our OPAC. But I only take the covers from Google, when Amazon does not have it. I like the ones from amazon better :) For those interested: http://library.wur.nl/desktop/catalog/ Peter Drs.

It uses the new Google Book Search API. http://www.librarything.com/thingology/2008/03/free-covers-for-your-library-from.php I think Google has as much cover coverage as anyone. The API is free. Most libraries pay. I'm thinking this is a big deal? We'll probably fancy it up a bit as an add-on to our LibraryThing for Libraries service, but the core idea can be implemented by anyone. I look forward to refinements. Tim -- Check out my library at http://www.librarything.com/profile/timspalding
