Search Tips
In order to get more accurate results, our search has the following Google-Type search functionality:
+
If you use '+' in front of a word, then that word will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry +Potter will return results with the word 'Potter'.
-
If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
""
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.
ex: "Harry Potter" will return any results with 'Harry Potter' in them, but not 'Potter Harry'.
*
Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.

"The most realistic and compelling novel of the Second World War" according to a mysterious and enigmatic marketing team, republished for the first time in 40 years.'This is a novel, although the battle and many of the incidents described in the book are true.' - Zeno Unless you have experienced war, it is impossible to imagine its grim reality. But The Cauldron does just that - unsparingly, painfully, brilliantly - because it is written by someone who was there.This is the story of a platoon of British paratroopers dropped sixty miles behind German lines into the bloody maelstrom that Arnhem became in September 1944. With the end of the war nigh, the Allies make one bold bet to end it before Christmas. But it is a bet doomed to failure.... Like never before, this is what it must have been like for the men parachuted into the cauldron. It has the smell, the taste, the fear of war - the terrifying sense of kill or be killed, and the horror of watching your friends die in front of you.... The Cauldron is a classic of war writing which takes the reader right to the heart of the action *like no other WW2 novel* [sic]. Written by a real character! : https://thebigretort.blogspot.com/2007/06/zeno-solving-thirty-yea -old-literary.html
