ABE gives the option of finding books published before the ISBN system was
instituted.

Sadly, as their books are second hand, ABE don't seem to offer an ISBN
reference (each book lot has its own local ID instead). Because of this, we
couldn't add it (AFAICT; IMBW and if so, someone please correct me :-)).
Of course we could add a link; it just wouldn't be ISBN-indexed, so
you'd want to add a note telling the user that they'll have to search
the book by title / author manually.
