56 justjim: Search for, say, 'SQL For Dummies', click on the first result and on the work page find Series and Work Relationships > Belongs to Series and click on for Dummies Computers and Internet. Scroll way on down to PHP… and click on PHP & MySQL for Dummies. Realise that if you'd put more thought into the initial search, you'd be here ten minutes ago!

135 BookConcierge : Hint 1 - the last line of the clue "for dummies"

155 Petroglyph : There are two very specific terms in the clue that uniquely identify the book in question.

191 Taliesien: I've bolded the pertinent parts of the clue:

In nought-five, discarding Tully,
Tim bought a book writ for dummies,
And we remain in '23,
MySQL and PHP. (Tim)

Works Search -> php mysql dummies (correct work should be first in results list and also in Tim's catalog)

197 MarthaJeanne : Now go the work only work page.

I put dummies, MySQL and PHP into the LT search bar and it happened to be the first result.
