Apr-10-2018 - Contact with Authors And Other Questions Hi, ISBNdb Users! We receive a lot of emails regarding how to contact the author/publisher/copyright owner of a certain book that we have in our database. We'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that ISBNdb is simply the most comprehensive book database available on the web, offering up to 18 million titles and counting. We simply store the information about the book, including the author, publisher, publication date, and much more.
