Thanks, Jake. I didn't spot that the search Matthew used wasn't limited to
a single language.

Hi Gerald and Matthew.
The "All Books on BookShare.org" link will only work for the first page
of results for some reason. So, yes, using this link the most you can get is
50 books. This is the reason why that option is toward the bottom of the
list. It was only included because of a request from a fellow user.
Using the "English books sorted by most recent publication date" will
get you a new books listing for the English language. Most people aren't
interested in Spanish titles and so this is a nice built-in filter. And, if
you do want to see the latest Spanish, simply use the corresponding link
provided.
HTH,
Jake
