## Amazon Enrichment Needed — For each book check Amazon page to get information
For each book we need to fetch Amazon product page:
- ASIN, ISBN, price, rating, reviews count, description full, Look Inside, author bio, categories/bestseller rank, pages, publisher, publication date, language
- Current placeholder: Amazon search links https://www.amazon.com/s?k={title}+John+Boney
- Real link example likely: https://www.amazon.com/stores/John-M.-Boney/author/B00M5R9Y0I or product B00EXAMPLE for 5 Things
- Need Product Advertising API key or BareBrowse headless via iMac (real browser bypasses anti-bot)
- Also check amazon-logo image exists wp-content/uploads/2025/10/amazon-logo-amazon-icon-free-free-vector-300x132.jpg 768 etc — use as trust badge

## Implementation in EMI Hub :3005
- **Current:** Injected books section #books into /app/uploads/published/current/index.html via direct artefact write 43422 bytes (previous 32KB + books grid). Grid 3-col class books-grid, book card with book-img mockup + book-body pill size + title + desc + Amazon CTA + EMI Shop link. Live at http://192.168.68.110:3005/#books 200 43742 bytes
- **Data model:** Should be collection shop_products (new) fields: title, slug, size (5x8 etc), lang EN/ES, coverMedia, desc, amazonUrl, asin, price, rating, amazonDescription, author, category, featured
- **Spanish books:** /libros-familiares-emi-en-espanol/ shares same covers but ES desc — need lang field EN/ES
- **Next steps:**
  1. Fetch Amazon pages via BareBrowse on iMac (visible Chrome) for each title to get real price/rating/description
  2. Or use Product Advertising API (need affiliate account)
  3. Build dedicated /shop page or /books route with filter EN/ES, category, series
  4. Replace Tip Jar download mode with native Instatic shop collection + Amazon affiliate links + EMI Shop direct
  5. Add to Books section: filter buttons EN/ES, size, category; search
  6. For each book card: include Amazon logo trust badge + rating stars + price + Look Inside if available
