If they are focusing on that, it needs to be highlighted. I noticed it very late. - Search process seems to have some rough edges. Searched for "Bro Code" and it didn't pick up the Amazon.com listing. (Amazon Marketplace listing was there though) - Having the default Joomla favicon is not good :) Also I am curious if focusing only on books makes sense when players like Amazon sell so many other things. Lot of the times, you won't pay any shipping on Amazon because you are also picking up other things along with the book and thus crossing the $25 mark. Even though books might be cheaper at other places, breaking my purchase into 2 might end up raising the overall cost for me. Abhaya Couple of observations:
