[PW] Searching for books published in last 5 years

[Erica Cathers]

The link below seems to provide options that I could swear Amazon used to 
have on their old Advanced Search page. FYI, last time I checked, the whole 
Power Search thing was gone, and you could no longer search for keywords 
within a Subject field. Maybe if enough of us complain, they'd bring it 
back!

Amazon does still have an Advanced Search page, such as it is: shop in the 
Book Department and then click on Advanced Search which is in the choices 
just below the main search box. They do, at least, let you search by year.
