The Browse page displays the main subjects in bold. Some have subdivisions (eg.
Art is subdivided into Art, Design and Architecture).
Clicking on the main subject will display all the books available in the
subject including the subdivisions.
Clicking on any subdivision will display only titles from that
subdivision.
There are four ways to view the books:
Featured Books: This is the default display of a few select
titles. The titles are chosen
by us as being of particular interest. Some will be new arrivals,
some are titles that have proved of lasting popularity. If there are no
featured titles for a particular subject you will be forwarded to the
relevant Recent Acquisitions automatically.
New Arrivals: Recently acquired titles appear first. You
can alternate between 'Text Only' and 'Show Images'. The 'Text Only'
version downloads faster.
Author Listing: Author surname ascending order. For more detailed information about any particular
book, click on the title.
Title Listing: Alpha title ascending order. For more detailed information about any particular
book, click on the title.
Sale: Additionally, some subjects
may also have a
"sale" option which lists clearance items that are on sale
for that particular subject.
Bargains: Some subjects
may also have a "Bargains" option which lists best bargains available
for that particular subject.
You can search for a title, an author, a publisher, or by using a keyword. Please note that,
only part of a title, an author or a publisher is required to perform
a search.
For example, a title search for "birds" will return "Rare
Birds of Britain and Europe" and any other title where the word "birds"
occurs. The same applies for author and publisher searches.
You can also search using the 5
digit code you will find in our printed catalogues as well as for an
ISBN. Note that only exact matches for either a code or an ISBN
search can be found.
Only the surname is required to perform an Author search. Also,
clicking on the Author in the "Book Details" page will bring up a list of other
titles available from Postscript by that and similarly named authors.
