#Keep track of your books
Just type in the title and author and we'll take care of the rest. You can also enter in any notes about the book you want, but that's optional. We'll search for the ISBN number (using the title and author) and use that to find a pretty picture of the cover of the book (for others to judge it by).
(This won't really work with dummy text, make sure you try a real book!)
#Show off how well read you are
That's why everybody reads, right? Just share your profile page for others to see your bookshelf.

#Common Problems
It is possible that we don't find a cover at all for your book. If so, try manually entering a different ISBN number or just give up.
It is also possible that we find a cover to a slightly different (but hopefully related) book. Again, try manually fixing the ISBN. Sorry!
#Contributing
Think this project is awesome? Contribute to it! Think it is really awful? Contribute to it anyways to make it less awful! Either way, please contribute! If you see anything you want to help out with open up an issue. If you think your fix is simple enough not to warrant an issue just send in a pull request. As usual, follow good coding practice: please keep code neat, make sure it works, etc.
Also, a super easy way to contribute without doing anything is starring this project on Github, I would really appreciate it!
