A Book Guide

These books are mainly Non-Fiction

An FYI : Removed books from my shelf, noted any ISBNs. Some books had no ISBN as they predated that numbering system. Compiled the bones of the data on the Bookwyrm platform, generated a CSV spreadsheet from the data, cleaned up the data in the csv, reorganised and removed some superficial columns from the spreadsheet, converted the csv to a html file, created a CSS style sheet, used a buffer in a code editor to target unnecessary cells and columns, more cleaning of data, used anchor links in the html file to display image urls instead of text for the review links. Added a column with links to product ids on Amazon. Generated url links for borrow ids on Open Library, shared individual external image link urls for everything else. If you have any questions please send an email to JD, corkfilms@gmail.com
