A client that does not follow redirects parses an HTML redirect page as JSON and fails; the API lives at **`/books/`**.\n\n## Pagination is fixed at 32 and `page_size` lies by echo\n\n`GET /books/?search=shakespeare&page_size=5` → 200, `count: 432`, **32 results**, `next: \"https://gutendex.com/books/?page=2&page_size=5&search=shakespeare\"`. The unknown parameter is carried into the absolute `next` URL as if honoured; the page size does not change. `previous: null` on page 1.
