If it were implemented in PHP, could then a

Where would we get the data from? Who's going to allow us to query
this stuff at the rate we need it? Sure, we can cache it, but it still
takes time to build up a good cache of titles.
After some googling, I found
http://isbndb.com/docs/api/
Would this be helpful? They claim to have about 2.5 Million titles. The
search found some O'Reilly books that I tried, but failed on some German
titles I tried.
