Comment on Visualizing all books of the world in ISBN-Space

Comments

Super cool. Love that you can zoom all the way in and suddenly it looks like a bookshelf.

When I got down to the individual book level, I found several that didn’t have any metadata- not even a title. There are hyperlinks to look up the ISBN on Google books or World Cat, and in the cases I tried WorldCat had the data.

So… why not bring the worldcat data into the dataset?
