Licensing a book database for improved book coverage

Right now, we use book data from Open Library, but it's not great. And, within 24 to 72 hours of adding a book we don't have data on, our team will add the book cover and other information. But we can't scale this as we grow and need a better source of book data.

What are we looking at?

We are in talks with Ingram and Nielsen about licensing their book data. They are quite expensive, but we are looking at a few options.

This upgrade will improve our book cover coverage and overall book database quality. We need to get this in place before we can ship imports from Goodreads as well.
