I hope not. It's a very short road from policy to (*shudder*) standards of
quality and conduct. And then we're ALL screwed.

Many of us have had to answer that question several times before getting to
the point where a job posting is even possible, so it shouldn't be hard ;).

Looks like data.results is an array, so you'll have to loop through
it. If you just want the first result, you could get at the
book_details array with data.results[0].book_details.

that said if you are hoping to get reviews i had very low results. i
was hoping they included reviews for things that might not have made
the best sellers but most of what i tried in some sample searches came
up blank. haven't bothers doing much with the historical best seller
data otherwise.

and nothing specific to this case, but i've taken to developing using

If so, you'd need to use JSONP, which a cursory examination of their API

You can pull data from their API into a server-side process and then pass it
along (filtered or raw) to your browser. But browser security won't let you
