SYNOPSIS
my $req = Net::Amazon::Request::XXX->new(
[ type => 'Large', ]
[ page => $start_page, ]
[ mode => $mode, ]
[ offer => 'All', ]
[ sort => $sort_type, ]

DESCRIPTION
Don't use this class directly, use derived classes (like
"Net::Amazon::Request::ASIN", etc.) instead to specify the type of
request and its parameters.
However, there's a bunch of parameters to the constructor that all
request types have in common, here they are:
type
Defaults to "Large", but can also be set to "Medium", or "Small".
Large The "Large" type provides everything in "Medium" as well as
music track information, customer reviews, similar
products, offers, and accessory data, i.e. the kitchen
sink.
Medium The "Medium" type provides everything in "Small" as well as
sales rank, editorial reviews, and image URLs.
Small The "Small" type provies ASIN, product title, creator
(author, artist, etc.), product group, URL, and
manufacturer.
mode
Defaults to "books", but can be set to other catalog values.
page
Defaults to 1, but can be set to a different number to start with a
different result page. Used in conjunction with the "max_pages"
parameter of the "Net::Amazon" object. "page" is the offset,
"max_pages" is the maximum number of pages pulled in starting at
"page".
sort
Defaults to "salesrank", but search results can be sorted in
various ways, depending on the type of product returned by the
search. Search results may be sorted by the following criteria:
· Featured Items
· Bestselling
· Alphabetical (A-Z and Z-A)
· Price (High to Low and Low to High)
· Publication or Release Date
· Manufacturer
· Average Customer Review
· Artist Name
Consult Net::Amazon::Request::Sort for details.
offer
To receive values for the fields "CollectibleCount",
"NumberOfOfferings", "UsedCount", specify "offer => "All"".
