Actually yes, that's exactly what I'd like to do since I wouldn't know the title id before I do a search for an author and parse the returned page.

Can it be done somehow like the below to directly fetch a title?(Far less fetching and parsing than the way I am doing it now and I know that's not the cgi directive I am using as an example)

http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?the_brethren

(Am also trying to figure out ways of parsing the wikipedia entry to just get the comments for the book but haven't got that far yet (grin))
