This is great but why isn't "physical book" an option?

unfortunately the API I'm currently using only searches audiobooks/ebooks. I'll definitely consider doing this in the future though! It's just not trivial

Google search does it somehow. Any idea how?

Nope lol. Can you give me an example of a search that shows physical book availability? I’d definitely be interested in figuring out how they do it bc it seems like people are interested in this!

when you search a book title it'll usually show it on the main search
