Overview
DeadTrees is a WordPress plugin that allows you to share the books you’ve been reading with your readers.
It’s slightly influenced by other “My Library” type of plugins, such as the whole Now Reading/Reloaded/Redux group of plugins, but is a complete re-write using WordPress’s Custom Post Type features.
I wrote Dead Trees because I want to post on my blog when I read a book, but only sometimes want to write about the book. Dead Trees lets me, (and you!), do that.
New in Version 1.1: Multiple Book Cover Sources
In version 1.1 book covers will be fetched from OpenLibrary.org, LibraryThing, or Amazon, depending on the settings, and what’s available where.
If you have set your Amazon API credentials, you can choose to look for a cover at Amazon either first…
