Common questions

What is the difference between ISBN-10 and ISBN-13?

ISBN-10 was the 10-digit standard used before 2007. ISBN-13 adopted the standard 13-digit EAN barcode format (prefixed with 978 or 979). Both formats identify the specific edition and publisher of a book.

Where does the book cover artwork come from?

Cover art is pulled directly from the Open Library and Google Books open digital archives in high-resolution original scans.

What academic citation styles are generated?

The tool formats standard academic citations in APA 7th Edition, MLA 9th Edition, and BibTeX for LaTeX documents.

Can I search by book title if I don't know the ISBN?

Yes. If an ISBN is not provided, the search engine matches the title against library catalog indexes and returns the most prominent published edition.

Is my reading list or lookup history tracked?

No. All lookups execute anonymously in your client browser runtime with zero user tracking or search history logging.
