New aStore: Technical Bookmania - Categories @ Amazon.com

The Technical Bookmania aStore isn't that new, but it was added since my earlier article My Top-Level aStores. As our discussion of search engines suggests, the best way to find items at Amazon.com is to use Amazon's own internal search. Specifically, it is best to use their "search within this category" facility for an appropriately specific product group. The biggest problem with that is the confusing "jungle" of literally thousands of categories Amazon provides, within a taxonomy that is often obscure at best.

One problem this site attempts to address is the need to locate the appropriate Amazon categories quickly and easily. To that end, I'm beginning a series of article that will simply highlight the categories and subcategories included in our aStores, which can then be found using the "search this blog" forms above. Herewith are the top-level categories within the Technical Bookmania aStore:
