xISBN

xISBN is a neat service from OCLC in libraryland. Feed it an ISBN and get back a list of ISBNs that are "related". Relatedness in this case means associated editions or printings.

So, the latest camel has an ISBN of 0596000278. This link:

http://labs.oclc.org/xisbn/0596000278

Will return this list:

0596000278 1565921496 0937175641 1565929748 1565924622

Which are the following:

• 1565921496
• 0937175641
• 1565929748 : no longer at Amazon :(
• 1565924622

Should I add this to Business::ISBN?

This sounds like such a cool service? Could we make this into a Perl module somehow?
