Amazon Scraper broken

Issue #2524 new
Stephan Doerfel created an issue

This Book http://www.amazon.de/Statistische-Methoden-Planung-Auswertung-Edition/dp/3540558217

comes with title "Mit 90 Tabellen" and no authors nor editors. All that could be taken from the website.

The info comes from worldcat, where for some reason a book with the above data is the first hit for the books isbn (an entry with the correct data is the second hit). However, since the amazon user does not care for/know about worldcat ... :-(

    Amazon is really a problem since they removed their API functions. I don't see an easy way to get this data beyond manually parsing the text on the Amazon page (this is error-prone).
