I’ll do it in the morning, when I reach my PC and will send you a message. 

If I can find a good API, I can give some thought yes. 

Friendly reminder, is this still something you’re willing to get set up for me?

What does "renewal 20$ per year" mean? Will it stop working one year after purchase, or is this renewal fee for support and updates only?

You can keep using as long as you want (or it works due to changes in the framework). You only won't be able to download new versions or request support.

@Adriano Faria, I just noticed that searching via ISBN does not currently work. Is this something you can add in on the next version?

Can you clarify? I type a number and all the book data is in the form then hit save. What exactly does not work?

@Adriano FariaSorry, that's my bad. I didn't mean when adding new books. I meant when using the global search bar. 

For example, when searching for "Ready Player Two" I get the following:

But when I search for "1524761338" (the ISBN for "Ready Player Two"), I get this:

Sorry again. Could you remove the validation on the publication date when creating/editing books?

For example, "The Thorn of Emberlain" doesn't come out until next year, however, I'm unable to add 2021 as the publication date without seeing the following error.

@Adriano Faria, when trying to create a bookshelf, we get the following error:

OutOfRangeException:  (0)
#0 /path/to/ips/applications/books/modules/front/books/bookshelves.php(27): IPS\Node\_Model::loadAndCheckPerms(1)
#1 /path/to/ips/system/Dispatcher/Controller.php(101): IPS\books\modules\front\books\_bookshelves->manage()
#2 /path/to/ips/system/Dispatcher/Dispatcher.php(152): IPS\Dispatcher\_Controller->execute()
#3 /path/to/ips/index.php(13): IPS\_Dispatcher->run()
#4 {main}

Also, it would be nice if you trimmed the ISBN input before hitting the Google Books API to remove leading and trailing whitespace.

There’s a dummy category (shelf) automatically added on app install. Have you deleted it directly on DB? There’s no way to delete via app.

Nope. We have not made any database modifications.

Another thing we noted, that it would be nicer to take a larger version of the cover other than the thumbnail from the Google API. When clicking on images where the cover came from the API call, we have a tiny version compared to the larger versions from manual uploads in testing.

I see this is hardcoded in the API call, but that Google provides options for other sizes.

It also might be nice to have an explicit search option, where the user presses a button to search against the Google API (rather than as a surprise when losing focus on the input). From a UX perspective, it's not apparent at all that a search is happening, especially if a match isn't found.
