Hey Canadians, did you know that Canada has an indie-bookstore-search function? Indie bookstores use Bookmanager, and you can search for books sold by indie bookstores near you. Use this widget I made to search for any ISBN in the indie bookstores nearby: nrmroshak.com/shoplocal-bo...

Heh, I entered one of the books that happened to be within arm's reach of my desk (Rudyard Kipling's "Captains Courageous" in a Walmart 2-for-$1 edition) and have discovered that Walmart doesn't enter their data very well.

A search result for the ISBN of "Captains Courageous" shows a result of "Misc titles: Walmart Classic series"

What if I don't have an ISBN, and just want to peruse a local indie bookstore, because they're awesome? Is there a search function for that?
