BookAuthority

Returns the ranked books on one BookAuthority list: title, authors, publication year, what each book is best for, why it is on the list, the experts who recommended it, and a link to the print edition on Amazon. The list is identified by its list value, such as "best-longevity-books", or by its bookauthority.org/books/ URL.

get_book_list

Looks up one book by its title in BookAuthority's lists: the lists it ranks on and its rank on each, what it is best for, why it is on each list, the experts who recommended it and a link to the print edition on Amazon. Use it for questions about a specific book, such as "is Atomic Habits worth reading" or "who recommends Thinking, Fast and Slow", and for "books like" a given book, since the lists it ranks on hold similar books.

find_book

Finds BookAuthority book lists for a subject or genre, such as "communication skills", "productivity", "fantasy", "longevity" or "World War II". Use it when someone asks for the best books, books for beginners, new books or best-selling books on a subject. Lists cover subjects and genres, not single titles or authors, so for "books like" a given book, search for its subject or genre. Returns up to 8 matching lists with their titles, links, book counts and list values, such as "best-longevity-books", which identify each list.
