Retrieve Owner's book data from Books API other than Google

[Mohitmadhav]

Description

Currently, books are being retrieved from Google Books API, but not all books are present there.

Screenshots

Steps to Reproduce

Please provide detailed steps for reproducing the issue.

1. Once the owner taps Add your book, the book data is being updated in the Cloud Firestore.
2. But for books not present in Google Books API we need to use some other API like Goodreads API.
3. For eg: The Alchemist shown in the above screenshot was not present, but the other book was.
4. We need to store the following data: See Revamp Book and User Collections  #92 for books.

To Discuss

• So is there any other way to get the book description other than API because not all books will be present in any free API?
• Or maybe we can just go for Book Description through any API and rest everything we can input from the user.
• Everything else other than Book Description can be retrieved from the user.
• If you decide to input the book photo from the owner, then use the Image_picker package which is already present in the project.

We can clarify this more in Feature Discussion

Additional data

• Add you book: lib/screens/add_book.dart
