We’ve recently added over 100,000 books to Freebase, many with cover art, along with more than 200,000 editions of these books. Rather than load every possible book, we chose a large set of authors who were famous enough to be in Wikipedia and attempted to get all of their books.
The subject data combined with the cover art makes for very cool galleries using the new topic views, here are a some examples:
For many of the books, we also have edition data, which includes things like when the edition was published, its ISBN and Library of Congress codes, and the number of pages. This lets you sort the editions by how long they are — here are the longest editions in Freebase.
We’d love to see what collections you can come up with. Leave a comment if you find a set of books that’s particularly striking.
