I was curious, so I counted and found that there are currently 29 books with the title "Seeing Red". The JSON results that I've looked at that result from the URL in the log don't appear to be sorted in any meaningful way and, in fact, have changed sequence between yesterday and today!
Since book titles may (and often are) duplicated, it seems that checking all of the results may need to at least be an option if the plugin is
really trying to find a match. After all, how much longer would checking even an extra 50 titles/authors take? An extra few milliseconds? A whole extra
second? I would think the URL query/response is the big time consumer, not the code that does the comparisons. Am I wrong?
