Wha' happen?

I'm trying to work the Amazon links threads into articles on the Zine that I can then link through to from here. Unfortunately, in the reboot I lost several of the bibliography threads when something I thought would work, well, didn't. Has anyone else got them all safe and secure?

I think I've got the FTVT biblio stashed someplace, and I think Rothkoid has a chunk as well. Further instructions?

I have a list of the comics somewhere.

If you like I can look them back up on Amazon-UK and add the respective barbelith code to the URL so you don't have to email Amazon for it or add it yourself.

(well apart from putting them on the zine)

WUM!

I don't need the full URLs because I am using iamcal.com's incredible Amazon.co.uk/.com script that we devised. But if anyone is interested in going and collecting the ASIN's for the things listed - I'd be thrilled!

What's an ASIN?

An ASIN is the same as an ISBN number, I believe. For example: Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential can be found here:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060934913/

And under the book's info, it says this:
quote:Paperback - 320 pages (May 8, 2001)
Ecco Press; ISBN: 0060934913


So the ISBN and the ASIN are the same number: 0060934913.

Basically, shred everything after the slash following the ASIN, I think; it's related to your search, rather than the title. At any rate, when I delete it and press enter, it seems to load the same page...

I haven't tried putting an ISBN from the back of a book straight into the url: that may work, and save you even having to search for the work, if you've a copy of your own that's still in print.
