HTML Link to iBooks

Here is the correct syntax for linking to a specific book in the Apple iBookstore ( ###... = a 13 digit isbn number) in HTML:


<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/isbn#############">On Apple iBooks</a>



What is the correct syntax for linking a series of books that can be found with a specific search?


Search = Publisher Name, Author Last Name

Sample Search = Acme Publishing, Augustine

This generates all books by one publisher and one author (assuming there is only one author by that name with this publisher.) How do I code a search?


Thanks - Fabe

This is the actual search syntax. I copied it directly from the iBooks search result page. I have been unsuccesful at integrating it into an HTML line. Any suggestions? Thanks - Fabe

The section is red causes the problem. Eliminating it will show the link properly, but then clicking on the link leads to a "No Matches Found" message in iBooks.
