Intelligent Book Search

Enter a search query below to search by any combination of author, title, subject, publication date, and ISBN. You can use "and," "or," "not," and parentheses to refine your searches.

This search engine is capable of intelligent searches. For example, you could search for:

• author is "Freud"
• author is "Freud" and not "Sigmund Freud"
• author is "Freud" and not "Anna Freud" and subject word is "dreams"
• author is "Freud" and title word is "unconscious"
• author is "Freud" and subject is not "unconscious"
• title word is "cognitive" and " learning"
• title word is "cognitive" and "therapy" and author is not "Mahoney" and publication date during 1997
• title starts "cognitive behavioral"
• subject word is "pain" and publication date after 1985
• title starts ("psychology" or "psychological") and title word is "medical"
• subject is ("psychology" and "AIDS")

You can use this search engine for any topic, such as:

• subject is ("cooking" or "recipies") and title word is "Italian" and publication date is between 1995 and 1998
• author is "Grisham" and subject is "murder"

Instructions

The search language lets you send us complex descriptions of books that you're looking for.

You can specify various properties of the book (like the title), various values for the properties (like "Alice in Wonderland"), and what the relationship between the value and the property should be (such as "equal", or "less than").

Here are the properties of a book that you can use in your description of what you're looking for.

   title
   title word 
   subject
   subject word
   author
   keyword
   isbn
   publication date (pdate)

Here are the words you can use to describe the relationship between a given property and some value. Some of the words below are equivalent to one another.

	
   equals       greater                 during		
   is           less                    between		
   isn't        greater or equal        before		
   starts       less or equal           after		
   begins       higher                  earlier
   lower        later

You can use the words "and", "or", and "not" to link together different parts of a book description. You can also group properties together using parentheses if that seems necessary to convey the precise meaning of your description.

Finally, it's advisable, although not always necessary, to put double quotes (") around things like titles. Titles (and sometimes authors' names and subject category names) may contain words that we recognize as "special." For example, looking for a book whose title includes words such as "and", "or", or "begins" is going to confuse us (even on a good day), unless you put quotes around the book's title.
