I'm looking for a (free) book database with name, author, publication year and maybe a small description for every book contained. I need it for a school project. Can anyone help me find one?
It's free, downloadable, and has records on almost 13 million items. Just going by the API (http://dp.la/dev/wiki/Item_API), it looks like it has the information that you need.

According to that API intro page, their databases contain over 1.8 million entries for books alone, so the download would be rather big I think.
