=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item C<search()>

Creates a query string, then passes the appropriate form fields to the 
Book Depository server.

The returned page should be the correct catalog page for that ISBN. If not the
function returns zero and allows the next driver in the chain to have a go. If
a valid page is returned, the following fields are returned via the book hash:

  isbn          (now returns isbn13)
  isbn10        
  isbn13
  ean13         (industry name)
  author
  title
  book_link
  image_link
  description
  pubdate
  publisher
  binding       (if known)
  pages         (if known)
  weight        (if known) (in grammes)
  width         (if known) (in millimetres)
  height        (if known) (in millimetres)

The book_link and image_link refer back to the The Book Depository website.
