In NLS, To avoid having to scamper around different pages for your
favorite book or author, open your settings/preferences page, and change
the max number of books to 10,000. You'll never (or almost) encounter a
multiple page display again.

Actually I agree, and is one of the things I really hate about NLS's
download site too, as I have to jump around to figure out if the author I
want is even in that first page, or later in the list of authors. Very
time
consuming.

The people who burned witches at the stake never for one moment thought of
their act as violence;
rather they thought of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness.
The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever
committed. -Gil Bailie, author and lecturer (b. 1944)
