Hi,
I'd like to ask you to consider a search option for books. Currently, if I search for a books (ie) about graphics, I have to go through all software too. There is no option to search just books. Is it possible to add this? I am not asking for full content search, only the title and author (publisher and year comes handy too).
Thank you in advance!

I am sorry, this should go to the web site department, not here, please, move it if possible...
Re: Book search
Hi, that should be a quick change to the advanced search Filters. I will come back to you.

Re: Book search
I think this is a good idea!
Perhaps advanced search could offer the following choices:
* Software titles (excluding CSSCGC)
* Software titles (including CSSCGC)
* Hardware devices
* Books
* Magazine files
with first option above selected by default.

Re: Book search
For ZXInfo.dk - all entries are categorized into 3 main areas: Software, Books & Hardware - from the menu (left), choose Entry Type to limit search to a specific group. Just my approach

Nice!
Re: Book search
Hi [mention]ellvis[/mention] and welcome to the forum.
This is not the perfect solution, but if you use the advanced search and select 'Book: Paperback' and type 'Graphics' in the title you will get a list of results.
Note we don't have book covers yet (They are coming soon). The majority of books are available elsewhere as PDF if you search on Google for 'Computer Archive Spectrum Books'

**EDIT** Book covers are now displayed

Re: Book search
Good work!
I just checked, and Advanced Search is already working pretty much as I suggested. Searching for title "graphic" and selecting type "Book" (one of the last options in the list) produces 25 results, as expected:

Re: Book search
Thank you Peter,it works as expected!
I'd like to use it for references, so no full books are needed, but the name, publisher and year are great to have.
