    I have been comparing them and have looked at other directory and classifieds options.

    The two advantages Bookclub has (IMO) over other options is the advanced search module with 3 search fields, and the buy now buttons which you can link to any site, eg. amazon or the author's own website.

    Can I create search fields like the ones on Bookclub with Classipress? I would like people to specifically be able to search for an author, publisher, genre and ISBN.

    And can I add a buy now button to listings (and make it easy enough for advertisers to do this themselves)?

    The current version of ClassiPress does not have an advanced search function, however this is planned for the next release. It will allow you to customize the search using custom fields.

    Also, there is no buy now feature in ClassiPress, so this would require customization on your part.

    Thanks Pepsi.

    I can work the buy now button, but the advanced search is really important. Any idea when the next release will be coming out?
