I have a question. How do you get the catalogue of books? Have you had to scrape a whole bunch of book stores, or do you make a ton of api calls? Do you store all the catalogues on your server, or are you calling a search on each of these s

Thank you. Yes I think it is something to do with a combination of a lack of motivation and a lack of self belief. If I see something that needs doing, I don't believe in my abilities to address it and so I just let it slide because I
