Thanks for great work

It searches by Longtitle + Author name. It's not a perfect science, but if you have them tagged correctly it should work most of the time. I ran it against 60 books and found the ones it was supposed to and didn't find the ones that amazon doesn't sell. Can you PM me the file your having problems with? I'll run it on my end and see if it works. Also Windows or *nix?

Also, I'm not sure why it would give 2 fake ASIN numbers. Probably crappy scripting on my part
