DESCRIPTION

"Net::Amazon::Property::Book" is derived from "Net::Amazon::Property" and on top of the all-purpose methods the base class provides, it offers specialized accessors for book parameters.

METHODS

authors(): Returns a list of the book's authors. There's also a "author()" method which just returns the first author.
publisher(): Returns the book's publishing company as a string.
title(): Returns the book's title as a string.
isbn(): Returns the book's ISBN number.
edition(): Returns the book's edition.
ean(): Returns the book's EAN number.
numpages(): Returns the number of pages.
dewey_decimal(): Returns the Dewey decimal number, this is for non-fiction only.
This method is deprecated (2011-10-28) as it does not appear to be returned by Amazon any more.
publication_date(): Returns the publication date.
ReleaseDate(): Returns the release date.
For historical reasons, this method used to return the publication date. However, as of version Net::Amazon 0.44 the release date is returned, and a separate "publication_date()" method is available.
new(xmlref => $xmlref): Initializes an object by passing a hash of hashes structure containing the XML data returned from the service. Usually, this is just used by "Net::Amazon" internally to initialize objects for on backcoming data.

Check out Net::Amazon::Property for all-purpose accessors, like "year", "OurPrice", "ListPrice", etc.
