FINDING AUTHORS on our website
On any individual book page you can click the author's name to see all the books they've authored or contributed to.
USING THE SEARCH FUNCTION for Author search
Please note: The image below is just a screenshot (so don't click it) of the SEARCH box that appears when you click the magnifying glass icon (top-right).
The SEARCH function we had on our old site is still there under the SEARCH button on the home page, or via the magnifying glass at the top-right of every page on the site. The four search fields are
Title,
Author,
Description and
ISBN.
A really quick way to find a specific book is to use a word from the
Title and a word from the
Author's name. For example, if you enter
Good into
Title and
Dervla into
Author and hit Search, it will show
The Good Turn by Dervla McTiernan.
We've also been asked how to sort category results by Author (alphabetically). Example: You're looking at the
Crime & Mystery category and want to sort the results by author. Well...ahem... you can't yet, but we're looking into it.
But all is not lost! If you did see an author you like, you can click through on that book and then click the author's name. The site then brings up all the books by that author that are available (either in stock or can be ordered in for you). Example: You're viewing the
Crime & Mystery category and you see a book by Michael Robotham. If you click on that book (taking you to the book's page) you can then click on Michael Robotham's name, and all his available books are shown.
