BookBrainz
I came across this site a few days ago.... https://bookbrainz.org/
I do contribute to MusicBrainz, and played with the idea of expanding into BookBrainz and contributing there also. All the searches I performed made me realise how woefully lacking in data the site currently is. Many of the books and authors I searched for were not even listed. Surprisingly I could not find a single thread about the site in this forum. Does anybody have any thoughts on the site? Why is it not mentioned on this forum? Is anybody contributing to it? |

I looked at it about a year ago. Considering the years it's been around, I found little to interest me on the site (I tried a dozen authors but very few hits and 7 of them didn't even have an author record).

What is the purpose of this site? I looked at it, but couldn't find what it's actually for.

This site, unfortunately, appears to be a failure and offers nothing that interests me.
Not worth a second look. Sorry. |

I got a hit on my very first search and the information in the result was useful.
I had never heard of it. It looks to me like they have built a solid architecture and if enough contributions are made maybe it will become useful or even significant. |
