Automatic alignment of books between HathiTrust, Internet Archive, Google Books, etc.
This is a cool service! (although not as cool as when I giddily thought it might be aligning **texts** across services :) ) Having said that, there seem to be...
e.g. https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015006592946&view=1up&seq=3
Either detected via regex or prefixed with e.g. `oclc:`, `isbn:`, etc.
Would be nice to be able to click on an example, and have it auto-populate + run the search for that example.
Each result should have a hover or expansion UI element which can give a description of why it was included, e.g. "ISBN identifier match from [x]"
e.g. https://archive.org/details/oxyrhynchuspappt06grenuoft/page/236 See also #23 (which handled `/stream/`) and #31. Should probably just make this a general solution.
e.g. https://archive.org/details/cu31924031242450/ winds up returning hits for both itself and without the trailing slash.
Could be as simple as URI-decoding a single hash parameter, so you could link in with a search pre-populated.
Restricted volumes, e.g. https://archive.org/details/womenslettersfro800bagn, should display the lock icon, like HathiTrust and Google Books do.
It would be cool if you could bulk query identifiers by running the JavaScript via Node on the command line, for example.
