BookAccents provides very powerful features for finding your books.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you depress the "Lookup by Auth/Title" Button, the Lookup by Author/Title Screen appears.

Note about searching:   The latest release of BookAccents automatically surround the title name with Asterisks for you.  It makes no difference whether you include the asterisks or not, we now assume they are there.

 

 

By typing in "Prey" we find all books with "Prey" anywhere in its title.

 

 

A list similar to this one is displayed.  Don't worry about all of the elements at this time.  We see that our search for "*prey*" resulted in a long list of books; more than one page, in fact.

 

Notice that "Michael Crichton" shows up in the left hand frame.  These names are sorted by First Names, first.  Let's Click on "Michael Crichton".
