For example, see http://www.amazon.com/Life-Medieval-City-Joseph... If you search by ISBN, it finds nothing. If you search by title, voilà! document.getElementById("btAsinTitle") should get you the span element with the book title.

I left the title search out, but if no ISBN is found then a link for search based on title is given. I wish there was an easy way to know what each version of the book was, Large Print, Hardcover, paperback, etc. Maybe that is the next upgrade.
