I came across this blog entry that talks about a web site that allows you to type in a keyword search. It then searches Amazon using that keyword, and builds a graphic of the keyword with the covers of the books it finds. Try it here.

In an ego-stroking, self-aggrandizing move, I tried it using the keyword \”SWT.\” Here are the results:

As you can see, Amazon offers a number of books that cover SWT, most of which I own. Just two years ago, however, that number was zero–which is why I decided to write The Definitive Guide to SWT and JFace. Eclipse has all the momentum 🙂
