I just tried it. The look and feel is really nice. The topical search was helpful. Bookshelves are a cool idea and "lists we think you will like" in the footer was helpful when I found a list that was OK but with books that were too academic for my interests in a topic.
Book Title search seemed like it could use some kind of "not found, but..." Helper, or suggestion functionality.
I searched "Moscow Calling," "Remembered Prisoners of a Forgotten War," and "Nixon at the Movies" with no title results. Huckleberry Finn worked OK.
Would use it again though, thanks for dropping a link in the discussion.
Ya, the search is really simple and more of a browsing tool. I wanted to try something unique and get it out quickly. It is not working well; I am going to redo that more in the style of Google search. And ya I will def do something better if it is not found in the future.
We don't have those books in our system yet as no author has recommended them is why nothing is showing up. We are still pretty limited as we have interviewed 8,000 authors in different areas, but that isn't a lot in the grand scheme of books. Slowly getting in more every week :)
