I used an online catalog that only contains title and author.
Gutenberg has another catalog in RDF format which has a log more
information, and I may use that as a basis for my search some day. That
would allow searches by subject, title, author, language, etc. I
realize this would be a lot more useful, but my time available for
Python programming is just a few hours a week. If I can get 80% of the
benefit for 20% of the work that's what I'll do first.<br>

I've had the reverse problem: I've searched a book as a test (Macbeth
by Shakespeare) and had to download it in two different languages
before I found the english text. Did I miss language informations
somewhere in the activity, or are they missing?
Usually the title would help, but cases like this where the title is
the same in any translation are a significant minority, and I believe
that either showing it or allowing to restrict searches by language
should be useful.
