Description

An easy task for a bot could be to import missing covers of german language books ([ISBN13](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Book_Number) starting with 9783) from [Deutsche Nationalbibliothek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_National_Library). An example:

https://portal.dnb.de/opac/mvb/cover.htm?isbn=978-3-86820-922-8

Leaving out the dashes also works. ISBN10 don't work. They also have some covers of older books, but you would have to [recalculate the ISBN13 from the ISBN10](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Book_Number#ISBN-10_to_ISBN-13_conversion). 🤖
