Hi,

I have finished adding the family library now and it's been an absolute nightmare. Would it be a lot of effort to add the spanish national library as an engine search? The spanish engines are basically useless (all the universities) and if a book is not in one of the amazons (more often than not for any book not printed in the last years) I have to hand-entry it. The z39.50 server for the spanish national library (which will have _every_ book published in spanish) is:

http://www.bne.es/eng/labiez3950.htm

I got that address from the bottom of that one:

http://www.bne.es/eng/comoexportar.htm

Would possible to add this?

Thanks,

Sergio

I second this. Meanwhile you can do like me and visit the following
online database (http://www.mcu.es/comun/bases/isbn/ISBN.html).
Here you'll get the information you seek. After this you just have
to browse through google image search for covers or scan them
yourself as ever.

Regards.

Tomas.

That link is dead, as is the corresponding Spanish one. But the information is here. Before and after 1830 are separate databases. The hostname given does not seem to work, but the IP address does and returns records for me (using a non-LT client).
