acceptable source?

Onix is an often used source for Goodreads, but the fact that they are called Onix ewebshops doesn't make something else that is called e-webshops an acceptable source.
The point is, i do think it's the same ewebshop where the onix import came from. I've seen it before on other Dutch ebooks. In this case one original author was missing in the webshop en in the goodreads-version. The other author and both translators were the same.Also, the onix macmillan import is from macmillan publisher. So onix ewebshop seems to me an import from ewebshop, but i might be wrong.
If we had an import from e-webshop.eu, the cover would be showing up already. I don't know what onix ewebshops is, but it apparently isn't carrying this cover image.
If I had to guess, and I don't but I will, I would say that the onix ewebshops import program thing got the book info from this non-bookseller site:http://www.boek.nl/bekijkboek/9789461...
If we wait until the troops are back at work they might tell us where the stuff comes from.

Second: I don't think www.boek.nl is the source. For this particular book, it mentions Maureen Child as one of the authors. She was not in the original goodreads import edition, I did add her as an author, based on another non-bookseller database.

To clear things up, this is an approved feed and an acceptable source. We're currently working with ewebshops to import Dutch publication data.

Just to clarify, is ewebshops the same as the e-webshops.eu mentioned in the first post, or is it some other website (the boek.nl site that was also mentioned)?

e-webshops.eu is a bookseller therefore not allowed
boek.nl doesn't look like a bookseller as such although you can buy books through them as you can through Goodreads. This is their "about us" page:

So the answer to your question is e-webshops.eu is unlikely to be ewebshops. But only the staff know and they haven't said.
In this comment in response to a thread about this in Feedback, Emily says that onix ewebshops is e-webshops.eu. She also said it in post 8 in this thread, but the Feedback thread is clearer.

It looks like a webshop = bookseller.

I'm confused. Does someone know if this is an acceptable source?
Thanks
