RE: 1+2) Yes, I think the less transactions the better for creating dynamic links on the client side.

RE 2) Multiple books in a single request is a tricky requirement because there needs to be a way to determine which book came from what submitted criteria. Google's API nests the results, but they only allow an identifier search at this time.

RE 5) Offset and Row options would be a good way to handle large sets.
