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"".
