Hi Caractacus,
Good ideas! I'll be adding an advanced search option soon. However, users having the ability to add their own books will take some time. If you send me the title, author and the isbn of a book I can add it for you in the mean time.
As you can see the site is still a work in progress. I really appreciate your suggestions and of course your excellent reviews. Cheers.
