What do folk consider an authoratative resource for locating technical books?
I have, in the past, looked at a few sites such as libHiTech, etc. but it
appears that the databases at these sites tend to be a month or more out
of date - I see books in non-technical book stores sooner than I find them
in the databases.

Also, it would be great to find such a catalog which has more than just
titles and authors - an abstract or other catalog information would certainly
make it easier to locate a book that heavily uses Perl but neglects to mention
that fact in it's title <grin>.
