Comment 2 for bug 1475315

Hmm. I think you're confusing the deprecated JSON API at https://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/json_api with the OpenLibrary Read API (https://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/api/read), which is marked as "new" at https://openlibrary.org/developers/api.

I think that what you're seeing is the result of problematic data on OpenLibrary's part, more than anything to do with our use of the API. See a recent discussion on data quality issues in OpenLibrary at https://<email address hidden>/msg01112.html for example.
