Book Hunter

Finding Books

Ways of finding books:

1) Click on the magnifying glass icon, found at the top-right of every page on the site. The four search fields are Title, Author, Description and ISBN. You can also sort search results by Publication Date (e.g. newer to older).

2) Click NEW RELEASES and pick the section you're after. New Releases are the latest books and are updated around the first of each month. The most recent month's book releases are at the top.

3) Click CATEGORIES. This includes the latest releases and older titles. Pick the category you're after and then a sub-category where you can use the filters to narrow it down, for example, In Stock. You can also sort category results by Publication Date (e.g. newer to older).

For even more search parameters, click MORE SEARCH OPTIONS. This takes you to ADVANCED SEARCH.

PRO-TIP: 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 Nina into Title and Dervla into Author and hit Search, it will show What Happened to Nina? by Dervla McTiernan.

4) FINDING AUTHORS - On any individual book page you can click the author's name to see books they've authored or contributed to.

5) FINDING MORE BOOKS LIKE THE ONE YOU'RE VIEWING - On any individual book page you can click the categories shown for the book you're viewing. That will take you to that category and the books within it.

More information on Search can be found in our Frequently Asked Questions - which are found under INFO on the main menu.

If you would like more personalised assistance by phone or email, click on CONTACT (at top of this page) and contact the department you require (Abbey's, GALAXY, Language Book Centre).

You'll be amazed at what catches your eye, so pour yourself a cuppa and go for a pleasant scroll...
