What code do you use to then display these HTML snippets? I'd assume you
loop through the files in your /books/ directory and CFINCLUDE them?
Curious... -- looks like that can be turned into a convenient custom tag.

Eric, I am VERY intrigued by this code ... could you give me a
pointer or two on how to use it? For example, where can I get these
two parameters in order to grab info on a book? It's not obvious to
me from crusing Amazon's site. Thanks very much in advance.
