In August 2018, this project was forked from:

_Book Catalogue 5.2.2 @2016 Philip Warner & Evan Leybourn._

Without their original creation, this project would not exist in its current form.

It was however largely rewritten/refactored and any comments on this fork should be

directed at myself and not at the original creators.
