Re: Creating database for web page

Amazon.com has a feature by which people can search Amazon.com's database
from your site as though you were searching from theirs.  If your looking
for something that will generate titles that you recomend, I'd suggest that
you just list them.  I can't imagine you recomending *that* many books.
