This UI is designed to keep you on the page. By using CSS, you pulldown menu items, see the alphebetic list and choose an author. All other sites have you point and click like a crazed girbil at items that take you off the page. The CSS technique keeps you focused on the content rather than the method which is the paramount success of a good UI. This UI lets you see the items of interest - the covers and a quote - easily and seamlessly.
