Oi, #FediAuthor folks, this is a #CallToAction! Go look yourself up on https://openlibrary.org/, and if you aren't too busy **go fill some stuff in!**
If you *are* too busy, you're in luck: I'm taking requests! Point me at an author profile, and I'll fill in any information you can give me. Like, say, a not-Amazon place to buy your books? 
Seriously, anything you can give me. Covers, blurbs, contributor credits—it's SO MUCH EASIER if I can go straight to the source! #PleaseBoost

Not an author, but know one? @ them. Seriously. This is MUCH easier when I can ask questions! Stuff like:
"Who made the cover art?"
"Do you have a PNG of that cover art?"
"What about the UK edition?"
"Should I use your middle initial?"
"Any chance you still have the raw text of the jacket blurb?"
"This is a different person with the same name, right?"
If we do it now, I won't have to wrestle the info out of a hallucinating chatbot 5 years down the line.
