# How to Find Books by Topic with ChatGPT

ChatGPT helps you find the right book for your specific situation. It explains what makes each title unique, compares similar books against each other, and recommends reading orders that build knowledge progressively. Book search becomes personalized guidance rather than an overwhelming list of results.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Configure ToolRouter in ChatGPT
2. Ask: "Find books about stoic philosophy"
3. ChatGPT returns relevant book results
4. Request: "Which is the best introduction for a beginner?"
5. Get a personalized recommendation

## Example Prompt

```
Search for books on product management. I want practical guides, not academic textbooks. Show me recent publications.
```

## Tips

- ChatGPT can explain what makes each book unique and who it is best for
- Ask for books compared against each other to help you decide
- Request a reading order if multiple books complement each other
