This is a simple command line application for maintaining a collection of books. It uses ISBNdb as a data source and SQLite for storage.
Obtain an API key from ISBNdb and set this using the ISBNDB_KEY environment variable.
Edit-based commands will use an external editor. Use the standard EDITOR or VISUAL environment variables to specify which editor to use.
Use the init command to create the database. On Linux, the file will be created at ~/.local/share/books-db/books.db.
Use the get command with the ISBN to display the ISBNdb record for the book:
books get 9780517597675
This will print the record without saving it as a book in your local database.
Use the add command with the ISBN to save a book to your database:
books add 9780517597675
Before the book is saved, you'll get an opportunity to edit any details.
