Changes things 4Claude Code: ask
  • nmlp_check_coverageCheck whether NMLP picks up books at a given five-digit US ZIP code.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Check whether NMLP picks up books at a given five-digit US ZIP code. Pickup is Albuquerque metro only (core + extension tier); everywhere else gets the 24/7 drop box or donor-paid mail-in. Returns coverage tier (core_metro, metro, near_metro, drop_off_only, out_of_area), whether pickup is available, minimum quantity, the current scheduling note (pickups are scheduled by route — no day-count window), and a human-readable message. ALWAYS call this BEFORE nmlp_schedule_pickup, and do not submit a pickup request when pickupAvailable is false.
  • nmlp_decode_number_lineDecode a copyright-page number line / printer's key (and any 'First Edition' wording) to determine which printing a book is.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Decode a copyright-page number line / printer's key (and any 'First Edition' wording) to determine which printing a book is. Paste the row of small numbers and/or the edition statement. Handles the Random-House-ends-in-2 exception and flags book-club editions. Returns the printing, a plain-English verdict, and the detected line.
  • nmlp_identify_first_editionIdentify whether a specific book is a first edition.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Identify whether a specific book is a first edition. Given a title (and optionally author), returns that title's POINTS OF ISSUE — the exact details that mark a true first printing — plus true-first precedence (US vs UK), book-club/reprint tells, publisher, year, the human-readable page URL, and a citation. THE tool for 'how do I tell if my copy of X is a first edition.' Draws on 8,300+ verified titles on the site (CC BY 4.0); the DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21184548 deposit (2026-07-04) holds 6,717 of them.

    Why it is in this group

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Submit a real free book pickup request to NMLP (Albuquerque metro only; pickups are scheduled by route). Every submission triggers a real outreach to Josh, the single human operator. NEVER submit speculative or unconsented requests. Addresses outside the pickup area are recorded but answered with drop-off / mail-in options (pickupAvailable:false).

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "nmlp_resolve" says "resolve": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    One Box: resolve ANY physical-media identifier in one call — auto-detects the type (Library of Congress LCCN, ISBN-10/13, CD DIDX hub code, label catalog number, UPC/EAN barcode, vinyl matrix/runout etching) and returns ranked typed candidates across NMLP's 48M-record indexes (20.9M LCCN + 8.7M CD + 19M vinyl). ISBN input returns the exact Amazon listing link (ASIN=ISBN-10), never a title search. Misses return Attested Absence: exactly which indexes were checked at what dataset version, so 'not found' is usable evidence. Use this when you don't know what kind of number you have; use the specialized lookups when you do. Identification only — does NOT appraise or value items; NMLP never buys books.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "nmlp_vinyl_lookup" says "lookup": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Identify a vinyl record from the matrix/runout etching in the deadwax (stamper suffixes vary copy to copy, so stable-prefix matching is built in), the label catalog number, or the barcode. Returns artist, album, year, label, catalog number. Backed by NMLP's Discogs-derived vinyl identifier index plus MusicBrainz fallback. Human tool (with a Goldmine-style grading checklist): https://newmexicoliteracyproject.org/vinyl-lookup
