Can you suggest a book for me? I’m looking for a coffee table book with photos of Britain. I’d appreciate a few recommendations as I wouldn’t know how to search for one in a library.
Cheers!
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: Well, I don’t have any specific recommendations, but you can do this search in the library catalog. Look for “Title Keywords” of:
britain illustrated
You get lots of books with those two words in the title. Some of these relate to history, and probably have a lot of photos of castles, megaliths, etc. Play around with other such words.
You can do a similar search at amazon.com if you’re looking for something to purchase. You can also throw in words like “landscape” or “history.” The “narrow by category” choices in the left margin might also help.
There isn’t an easy way to limit only to large-format books either in the catalog or at Amazon. In the catalog’s Advanced Search interface, you can search for keywords in the title like I said, and then in “All Fields” search for “32 cm.” (use quotes) to look for specific large sizes. This works. Anything over 30 cm. tall is pretty big. You’ll have to do a search for each size one at a time.
