I'd suggest looking at OCLC (Worldcat) or the Library of Congress.

Cataloging information is pretty straightforward to find. Author demographics may be trickier, though if you can sort how to query Wikipedia, you might be able to work with something there.

Wikipedia's BookSource page(s) might also be of value. It's indexed by ISBN, so you'll need to provide that or acquire it elsewhere.
