I know there are collectors here who have a lot of this info. I have quite a bit of the info from 3E and earlier already in an XML format like this:[CODE]    <group publisher="TSR" edition="basic" format="soft cover" category="adventure" series_code="B">         <item id="9023A" series_id="B1:" name="In Search of the Unknown"     print_edition_notes="pastel green cover" />        <item id="9023B" series_id="B1:" name="In Search of the Unknown"     print_edition_notes="brown cover" />[/CODE]Everything I have is organized into 243 groups like this of various sizes consisting of a total of 934 items (1666 lines) from 3E and earlier, which was pulled and XML'ilifed from a large collector's list PDF I found in the iterwebs. Needed InfoI need more info in a suitable format preferably - XML, CSV, or spreadsheet organized first by product id, which unique to each product, and is present as the id field from above, as an example.What product information I need are, in order of need, is the following information:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">publication month and year,</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">ISBN</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">authors</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">num pages (total, front matter, content, appendices, back matter)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">image of the product's cover</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">link to its wikipedia page</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">link to its dndclssics  page</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">possibly links to e-bay or Amazon for specific searches for it or its product page too.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">all 4E and 5E data</li> </ul>All data should be organized by product ID or I may may not be able to readily use it. I can aggregate many files into one using scripting, so multiple people sending me files is not a problem. I will use my current XML file and any other files I receive to aggregate them into one XML file via scripting, and then, after normalization and correction, hopefully, I will at least create a scripted page for people to play with. Once that is done and working then I may look at a full website.I will be more than willing to share the files and data too, at least making the XML file available. At some point I will need assistance by those who will verify and correct the entries I have. I know some of it is not categorized properly.Can anyone help a data hungry bruth'a out? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
