Book titles "The Elements of C++ Style" and "C++ Concurrency in Action" weren't found using the Metadata edit "Download Metadata" function. I got "The Elements of C Style" and nothing, respectively.

It appears the "+" sign is invalid and/or isn't escaped in the search string. What's the proper format for "C++" in a title?

I ended up pasting the ISBN-10 number in the ID field to find the book.

While the Amazon store (and the PDF) shows the title as "C++ Concurrency in Action: Practical Multithreading", the returned metadata title is "C++ Concurrency: Practical Multithreading". One would think Amazon would have a single publications database with a primary key on ISBN but apparently not.

Cheers!
