I think BookWhere needs a GREAT deal of work before it becomes truly
viable. Depending on the nature of the database being searched, BookWhere
can return random errors or completely crash. While it is VERY useful, I
found it unstable, lacking user-friendliness, erratic, error-prone, and
misleading -- it returns search data that is inaccurate on some databases
without telling the user that it may have a problem with specific database
types.
Just my 2c worth.
