 * I love this plugin, thank you!
 * I was able to successfully bulk upload my library catalog, but when I try to 
   populate a collection item with the results from an Amazon lookup, I get a 403
   error:
 * > Forbidden
   > You don’t have permission to access /halifax/wp-admin/admin.php on this server.
   > Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an 
   > ErrorDocument to handle the request.
 * If I try to simply go in an manually edit one of the fields, I have no problems
   and the entry saves.
 * Any thoughts? Thanks!

 * This is strange. The only thing I can think of is that there is something wrong
   with your AWS setup — one of the fields is set wrong. But this is only a guess.

 * Okay, it’s neither the plugin nor the AWS setup, as I used the same credentials
   on another Web Librarian setup, and it works fine. Also, it seems that if I clear
   what is populated into the “description” field, it works fine (which is ok since
   all I really need are the image url, ISBN, and pub date). It probably has something
   to do with security on our wordpress setup or something like that.
 * Thanks for the quick reply though!

 * What you can do is that instead of do an ‘Insert item’ from the AWS list, do 
   a ‘Look Up Item’. Then you can *selectively* insert info in the form using the
   little insert field buttons next to each of the displayed fields.
