New author storefront layout

Status: Heard this before

I perhaps unlike other authors have many books that are all related as they are supplemental volumes in a Role Playing Game. I also offer these books in print and e-book format. I would like to be able to or have automatically done, my books on my storefront grouped into print and e-book separately. Further I would like to arrange the order they appear in as I would like the Main Rule book and other core books to appear before adventure modules; perhaps group subtitles would really help with related search links on the storefronts home page. It would also be nice to include some HTML ability into a sidebar window where I could feed info, discounts etc, Iframe might be ideal for this purpose limited to 350x350pix no scrolling.

Improve search and spotlight interaction

Someone else already suggested that the search should have advanced search features, but I have another. Right now author spotlights are really hard to get to. The search on Lulu's main page doesn't allow searching by products (that is restricted to the buy button, which makes it too hard for random visitors to find.

 

Also, the option to search by author isn't revealed until after you have the result view, it should be in the pulldown menu (or the suggested advanced search).

 

Finally, clicking an author's name in the search results will redirect you to results by that author, when I would expect it to take me to their storefront/spotlight. To get there you have to select a title and click the visit author spotlight option on the product page. That is too many clicks, so I hope you will improve this, Lulu Staff

 

Regards,

Stijn Hommes
