When I want an automated book-dealer to do my thinking for me...

Tipped off by an interesting reference [in Zona] to David Markson's This Is Not a Novel, I went to Amazon and typed in 'Markson not a novel'.

Directing me, admittedly, straight away to the desired product, the Amazon sales-gnome rather grudgingly added:
Did you mean: maroon not a novel*
Try it. Just see what bloody happens.
