If it is OK, could you please describe at a high-level on the de-duplication involved in mapping the following 3 links to a single book - a)
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=836633
b)
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1527084
c)
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1718951
because the amazon links contained in the HN comment links are all very different but still point to the same book - "Javascript: The Good Parts".

I extract ASIN (Amazon ID) from URL and then use Amazon API to get so called "parent ASIN" (to acount for different editions like paperback, ebook etc).
