Book BearingsCredits
Book Bearings is built on open data and open-source work. Thank you to everyone behind it.
Book data and covers
Book details, descriptions and covers come from Open Library, an open, editable library catalog run by the Internet Archive. Each book page links back to its Open Library record.
The Internet Archive does not claim copyright over the Open Library catalog, but some contributions may carry their own rights: some descriptions were copied into Open Library from other sources such as Wikipedia (CC BY-SA). Cover images belong to their publishers and other rights holders.
When Open Library has no English description of a book, the summary comes from the book's Wikipedia article, found through Wikidata. These summaries are shortened from the article, are shared under CC BY-SA 4.0, and link to the article on each book.
Catalog data has mistakes. If a book's cover, title, description or topics look wrong, use "Report a problem" on its page, or email [email protected].
Author names
English forms of some authors' names come from Wikidata, available under CC0.
Typefaces
Headings are set in Libre Baskerville, copyright 2012 The Libre Baskerville Project Authors. The home page is set in Archivo, copyright 2020 The Archivo Project Authors, and Figtree, copyright 2022 The Figtree Project Authors. All three are used under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
