Book database?

Something I was thinking about a while back... I use AMG for music and IMDB for film reference, but whenever I need to look up something literature-related, I find I've nowhere to go except library databases, and they don't always have what I need.

So is there a database of books and authors comparable to the IMDB? Where do you go if you need to find out a publication date, an original title, translation info, list of all titles by an author, that kind of thing?

The closest to what you want is, I think, Amazon.com.

Thanks, now that you mentioned it, that is where I usually end up looking. But they don't have everything, and they're not that good on author information.

I usually use amazon, wikipedia, or a combination of the two
