• receive a search request for one or more books from the remote user device in response to a user interacting with the GUI;
• and
• in response to the search request, (i) determine a set of books that satisfy the search request, (ii) determine information about one or more physical characteristics of one or more books in the set of books, including a textual summary of the one or more books, and (iii) provide, on the GUI, one or more graphic features for respective one or more books in the set of books, wherein each graphic feature includes an image having the one or more physical characteristics of a particular book;
• wherein each graphic feature is provided by (i) selecting an image representing a cover of the respective book from the book data, and (ii) setting a depth dimension of the graphic feature based on the one or more physical characteristics of a particular book, the depth dimension representing a number of pages of the particular book.

• generating a graphical user interface (GUI) to be displayed on a remote user device;
• receiving a search request for one or more books from the remote user device in response to a user interacting with the GUI;
• and
• in response to the search request, (i) determining a set of books that satisfy the search request, (ii) determining information about one or more physical characteristics of one or more books in the set of books, including a textual summary of the one or more books, and (iii) providing, on the GUI, one or more graphic features for respective one or more books in the set of books, wherein each graphic feature includes an image having the one or more physical characteristics of a particular book;
