    This extension is amazing! I love how much information I can find with a quick click.

    Before I started using this extension, I had no idea how much time I wasted tracking down metadata. It's just so handy. I breathe a sigh of relief whenever I see that little red icon beside the isbn.

    I love the improved Bibli-O-Matic! It doesn't bog down the page no matter how many ISBNs are on it and the information it returns saves so much time when checking data. The design is really nice and includes Thema as well as BISAC! Total timesaver.
