                $prop->title(), " ",

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.
