Using the BookExpress Advanced Search
Advanced Search lets you search by:
- Title
- Author
- ISBN
- Publisher
- Subject (architecture, fiction, cooking, etc.)
- Division (Raincoast, PGC, BookExpress or All)
- Category (Active Title or All Titles).
You must use complete words and/or ISBNs (ISBNs with or without hyphens are ok.)
For example, to find:
Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
ISBN: 978-0-385-65980-2
To find by TITLE, enter any variation of the title using complete words:
– curious incident of the dog in the night-time
– curious incident
– curious dog
Or use combinations of TITLE and AUTHOR:
– curious mark haddon
– haddon incident dog
If no records are found when a complete title or author name is entered, try searching using whole-word keywords from part of the title or the author’s last name as in the examples above.
Depending on the number of titles that match your search criteria, your search may take a moment to return results.
