readme.md

library

set publicSpreadsheetUrl in index.html to set a sheet

expects the following columns, but easily updated:

title
author
authorLast (used for sorting)
isbn-10 (not displayed)
isbn-13
format
genre
publisher
series
volume
year
coverurl
description
notes
signed (yes or blank)

adding books using the google books API

update SHEET_ID and SHEET_NAME in index.js.
follow the instructions at https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/quickstart/nodejs#step_1_turn_on_the_api_name, and save the resulting json file to .credentials/client_secret.json.
run npm install.
run npm start.

the google books API is somewhat spotty; searching for a title at https://books.google.com/ will sometimes pull up a book and provide the ISBN they know it by. It also doesn't have comprehensive coverage of various editions of titles, and doesn't return image URLs or format information.
