Title is not the most popular search term for a book. As a rule, a literary work is remembered according to other criteria, and one has to search for them. Fortunately, search engines take this into account and allow you to find a book not only by title.
Instructions
Step 1
The most difficult and lengthy way to search for a book is to search only by the author's first and last name. Most likely, he has more than one or two books on his account, therefore, through a search engine or the author's website, you will have to look through the entire list of his works. It is not sure that in this way you will find exactly the book you were looking for. Lack of information can lead to the fact that you take on a completely different work.
Step 2
The search is greatly facilitated if you know, in addition to the author's surname, the genre of the work or some key issues discussed in it. At the same time, make sure that the book you are looking for is unique in the author's work by genre. It is difficult to find a specific detective story from an author who writes only detective stories; it is also not easy to find a specific book that is part of a series with a single plot or similar subject matter.
Step 3
Let's search for a quote from their book. This hint is mainly suitable for poetry: collections, poems, plays. But prose and nonfiction also show up in search results if the quote was accurate and unique (not repeated in other works). For example, when searching for a poem, you can enter the line: "They say gray hair is in fashion now." Even without knowing the title, author's name, or genre of the work, you will receive links to several sources of a particular work.
Step 4
The name of the main character is also a good search criterion. As a rule, the author tries to make him unique, unrepeatable, like the character of the character. Enter the name of the author or genre of the work and the name of the main character. Please note that some heroes are used by the author from book to book, so there may be several books in the list of results. Use your common sense when choosing a particular book. The memory of the works from this series that you have already read can help you.
