I haven't quite figured out why the each is not behaving as expected, but
this worked, returning all 20 titles delivered by the JSON.
I expected the each() to parse down from the single results container, so
why book_details has to be referenced by incrementing the results array (or
is it an object?) seems wrong.

$.each(data.results[i].book_details, function(n,item){
var bookTitle = item.title;
$('#container').append('<p>'+bookTitle+'</p>');
