John (johnbdonner) | 4 comments Hello Goodreads dev team!

My name is John and I've been exploring your guys' API for a bit. I can't seem to find documentation on a method that I'm able to call on a book, called `language_code`.

This method seems to return the language of the edition of the book. For example, I retrieve a data object of the book "Meditations" and calling `meditations.language_code` returns `"eng"`. Nice! However, when I call the same method on a different book, such as "The Lean Startup", it returns `"en-US"`.

Is there any official documentation or usage that I'm not seeing? I'd like to be able to retrieve this information for each book.

Best,
John Donner
