According to my analysis, the book category and the sub-categories under it heavily favor the auction-style listings under the Best Match search algorithm.  This means that fixed-price listings in the book category are disadvantaged in the search results.  Sellers who list in the book category using Buy-It-Now listing format should reconsider if they want to be found at the top of the search results.
