Thanks for the responses. Wish there was a site like this that existed out there. Looks like I'll still be using Amazon for book info. As far as reviews, I usually don't even read them at Amazon since they're usually either overly-glowing or overly-negative. I'm not even sure exactly what information could be used to create an "IBDB" site (as Sleepyjack puts it). The basic thing I use Amazon for is to get a listing of books written by a certain author. I'd like to see a site with an easy to read listing of an author's books in chronological order (and maybe with information about each printing; i.e. First Edition published in XXXX year; 2nd printing in XXXX year by Publisher A, etc.). Unfortunately, Amazon still doesn't allow you to sort an author's work in chronological order when searching on an author's name. It just lists them in order of sales popularity. Maybe an author's page on an IBDB site could also lists authors they've collaborated with (i.e. Stephen King's page would list Peter Straub as a collaborator since they wrote The Talisman and Black House together). An author bio with hotlinks embedded in the text that linked to authors they were influenced by or personally knew, etc. would be good too.
