Is there any word on a limit to the number of hits per day on the Google
API? I missed it in the docs if it's there, only saw an ominous warning
that you might see the service temporarily disabled if you generated an
'unusually high number of hits' during development.

Hi Tim,
I think this proposal suffers from the same shortcoming as
LibraryThing's widgets, which is that only one per page is allowed. Aj
better way may be to use spans and classes and keep the JavaScript in
a library.
I've attached the resulting HTML below; see http://libx.org/gbs/ for a
demo.

(Apologies for cross-posting)
I just posted a simple way to get free book covers into your OPAC. It
uses the new Google Book Search API.
http://www.librarything.com/thingology/2008/03/free-covers-for-your-library-from.php
I think Google has as much cover coverage as anyone. The API is free.
Most libraries pay. I'm thinking this is a big deal?
We'll probably fancy it up a bit as an add-on to our LibraryThing for
Libraries service, but the core idea can be implemented by anyone.
I look forward to refinements.
Tim
