Where our book information comes from

Bookfarer is built on open data shared by people who care about books. We’re grateful to them.

Open Library

Titles, authors and editions come from Open Library, a project of the Internet Archive that aims to have a page for every book ever published. Book covers are shown from Open Library.

Wikidata

Original publication dates, series, and how books are made up of parts come from Wikidata, the free knowledge base that anyone can edit. Wikidata shares its data under CC0, dedicating it to the public domain.

Bookfarer

We add some details ourselves, such as the different translations of a book.
