if you want something done, you'd best do it your own damn self...

Lord knows, the web people at Penguin have their hands full. I'm sure of this, although I've never actually seen any benefit from what they're doing -- it's all bestsellers and Imprints with Clout. They're far too busy to make it easy to find a genre imprint. Or even update it on time.

So I've taken matters into my own hands. It's small, it's simple, but it works. I hope. And acknowledging that it's still in the building phases.

But I'm still proud of it.

Nice work.

However... (you knew there was a however!), I second the comment on jump links and raise a request for a left-side menu bar. Not frames, but a nice little table with an unchanging menu bar to the left and a proportional block to the right with the info du click.

And add art, of course. I know you've got a beef against Amazon, but their cover art/read a few pages model is a good one, it allows for virtual leafing.

Want someone to write reviews/blurbs? Not that I'm trying to ride coattails or anything...

Some more updates made.

Jump links will come in time. Tables, probably not. I have very limited time and energy to do this in/with, so it's gonna stay simple. Likewise adding pages, even if I didn't think that was a slippery slope (their recent "search" program violates a whole bunch of electronic display right clauses...)

With the tables, I was thinking a template - 1 row, 2 columns, with the leftmost column being unchanging navigational links. So all you'd have to do to update any page is plug the new stuff into the rightmost cell.
