Perhaps because it seems overly complicated, with a lot of manual parts prone to error? You made something that is N long (scan each book) into something over 3N (photo all might not be N, but transcribe titles, pull out, open, photo, then transcribe isbn/info is 3N or more.) I got the idea from a book (24 Hour Bookstore/Ajax Penumbra) but a panorama of a room to pick up the spines would be amazing. I don't see it here, but even accepting the need to barcode/isbn all the books, I would like a way to pull digitized or high-quality spine images for a VR library that is fed from an ISBN database of what you want it stocked with, using a query for shelving/sorting. I fear that this is a whole new project, akin to the original good cover scans, but lacking even a starting point from publisher sites.
