I'm using ItemSearch in order to get a list of books ordered by 'salesrank' aka 'bestselling',

problem is that the books that pop up for any BrowseNode are totally different from the Amazon list.

Test Case Author:"J R R Tolkien", SearchIndex:"Books", Sort:"salesrank"

Using the API:

  • J.R.R. Tolkien Boxed Set (The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings)
  • The Hobbit: 70th Anniversary Edition
  • The Lord of the Rings: 50th Anniversary, One Vol. Edition
  • The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun
  • The Silmarillion
  • The Lord of the Rings
  • The Children of Hurin
  • The Fellowship of the Ring: Being the First Part of The Lord of the Rings
  • The Return of the King: Being the Third Part of The Lord of the Rings

Using Amazon.com Adv. Search:

  • The Lord of the Rings (Trilogy)
  • The Hobbit
  • J.R.R. Tolkien Boxed Set (The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings)
  • The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun
  • The Lord of the Rings: 50th Anniversary, One Vol. Edition
  • The Silmarillion
  • The Fellowship of the Ring
  • The Children of Hurin
  • Lord of the Rings, The
  • Return of the King, The (Vol 3)

Help would very much appreciated
