Tellico includes a default ISBNdb key. However, if the access limit for the 
key is reached for the day, then no further results are returned. 
Unfortunately, isbndb does not provide an error message to that effect, so 
there's no way to differentiate between an invalid key and a key that has 
reached the access limit.

Recently, I added a warning message about the access limit possibility, I 
didn't check if that's if Tellico 2.2 or not. It's been a while...

I can add a check about having an empty key, as you suggested.
