## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, ranked catalog of public-domain fiction books specifically associated with Paris or France, and want drill-down links for full-text access. Prefer this over a full-text search endpoint when you want to browse the shelf broadly rather than search for specific passages or keywords.

## Known failure modes

- payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response and no book list
