Goodreads Librarians Group discussion

I was just curious if there's an estimate of the number of books in the database.

Otis has quoted stats before, but I have no idea which thread that would have been in.

You can ask in the Goodreads Feedback group and you'll eventually get an answer. We've also gotten stats there (when we ask) about membership makeup re numbers in various countries, which is also interesting.

Thanks.

From Friday's Blog post, "Developers using the Goodreads API can pull Goodreads ratings for over 2 million different titles and reviews for over 500,000 titles. Goodreads has more than 4 million members and more than 117 million books cataloged..."

117 million, omigoddess!!!! I've been referring non-member friends here just to look up editions or look up prices. It's quite amazing!

Where would I find the blogs?

At the bottom of this page, the link says, "our blog".

Thanks, Deborah, for the stats. Impressive! I have to remember to check their blog page more often.

Your welcome, I subscribe to it using RSS, that's really the best way to keep up with any blog.

Related with this, I wonder if we could perhaps update the warning when manually adding new books "Note: Goodreads has over 6 million books in its database already, so please do a search before adding a book [...]" to reflect these updated values.
