[AccessD] OT: Amazon book searches

John - try this:

Under Search or Category, select Books.
Then select Advanced Search (directly under 'Search').
In the keywords field enter C#, then push the orange search button.

You'll get a page full of all C# books!

Are you buying a Christmas present for someone?


Good Luck,
Dan
