\*(C`Net::Amazon::Property::Book\*(C' is derived from \*(C`Net::Amazon::Property\*(C' and on top of the all-purpose methods the base class provides, it offers specialized accessors for book parameters.

\s-1METHODS\s0

authors()

Returns a list of the book's authors. There's also a \*(C`author()\*(C' 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 \s-1ISBN\s0 number.

edition()

Returns the book's edition.

ean()

Returns the book's \s-1EAN\s0 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 \*(L"publication_date()\*(R" method is available. Initializes an object by passing a hash of hashes structure containing the \s-1XML\s0 data returned from the service. Usually, this is just used by \*(C`Net::Amazon\*(C' internally to initialize objects for on backcoming data.

Check out Net::Amazon::Property for all-purpose accessors, like \*(C`year\*(C', \*(C`OurPrice\*(C', \*(C`ListPrice\*(C', etc.
