TheStoryGraph is a site similar to GoodReads, which is already on the list, so it should be in scope for the page.
It has a quite large database of books and tools to help people to keep track of to read lists, rate and review books, organize book circles, read-alongs and other activities.
The URL for a given ISBN should probably behttps://app.thestorygraph.com/browse?search_term=MAGICNUMBER212.247.182.250 (talk)08:55, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Noticed that the current search of an ISBN in amazon.ca seems to fail if the ISBN is given as a string of digits with no dash, i.e.https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=9781118388679 fails whereashttps://www.amazon.ca/s?k=978-1443427999 succeedsNessman (talk)16:30, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think that the Internet Archive produces more results than Open Library for scanned texts. Would it be possible to add a link to search Internet Archive for the ISBN directly? Unlike Open Library their search seems to prefer no hyphens in the number.Tsarivan613 (talk)03:05, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I am discussing this here because there's no talk page on this page; does anyone else thinkSpecial:BookSources needs a redesign? Every time I follow a hyperlinked ISBN from a citation, I get to this page and then promptly click the "Search" button and then realize the search was already made for me. It's visually unclear because there's a paragraph of text before the results, and also because the search results look like an article page - it does not match other search pages across Wikipedia.MediaWiki has their own style for the same extension which is cleaner.
If anyone knows a better place to ask this, like a place to propose design changes on Wikipedia, please let me know.Edit7hesadparts (talk)15:56, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
