Descrizione
I think the system to find possible matches could be improved. Right now it tries to find a similar book based on a string of text, I assume, it probably keeps in mind other stuff like ISBN and shit to find them, but IMO this would still require a lot of more complex code to work properly (which would be nice and all if there would be more humanpower to develop). So, IMO, a better solution to this would be to do the following. Let's say one hypothetically adds a book manually, then tries to submit it. First the code would try to find an author that matches what the user inputed (this already happens now), it should take into consideration variations of that name, like Fumito Ueda, Ueda Fumito, etc. Once one has selected the author, the code should prompt the user to choose among the existing works of that author to choose if that book matches what you are adding.
