## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, ranked list of public-domain psychiatry and psychology books specifically — including classics like The Varieties of Religious Experience, The Anatomy of Melancholy, or The Psychology of Sleep — and want drill-down routes for full-text access without any API key or license requirement. Prefer this over general web search when you need reliable, structured bibliographic data on mental health classics that are copyright-free.

## Known failure modes

- Limit parameter exceeds 50 — API may cap or return an error
- No books match if the shelf is empty or unavailable — returns empty list
- Payment failure via x402 protocol prevents access
- Network timeout on the POST request
