Improve this questionI'm looking for alternatives to Google Book Search API.
Ideally, something with more detailed information about books.
Try the RESTful API from ISBN DB http://isbndb.com/api/v2/docs
I have been using the API from the literature social network GoodReads https://www.goodreads.com/api
I find the results are a lot more relevant then Google Books because there relevance ordering takes a books popularity on the site into account. You don't get results like multiple versions of the same book or some obscure essay (this could be a plus or a minus depending on what you're doing).
However, the images are often missing and when they are there they are very low res!
