It's not the first time I'm confronted with this. In 2013 same thing happened and I feel like being overwhelmed by info about what's out there to be sold instead of what's really a good book.

The site looks very simple in it's layout but is really helpful with it's filters, also, the Awards Explanation (http://www.dawcl.com/search.asp) made this one of my favourites.
