Your data for Freebase is either very out of date or you perhaps took
a statement about 1.3million Stanford Library book editions as
representing the entire corpus.

Currently Freebase has:

3,409,670 book editions http://www.freebase.com/view/book/book_edition
2,436,268 books (ie works)
   559,148 authors

More interesting, at least to my mind, is how the books are linked to
their film and stage adaptations
(http://www.freebase.com/view/topic/en/adventures_of_huckleberry_finn),
the authors to their Wikipedia entries describing their real life,
publishers to their imprints and stock symbols, etc.
