And what's the problem? Do you know what's required to extract books? Can you do it manually? If you can, what prevents you from doing it in your code?

What have you tried to do beyond what you have shown to extract the books? What is the problem? Where are you stuck?

You already told what you need to do, parsing, etc.

Basically, this is a problem of "Web scraping": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webscraping[^].
For some basic ideas, please see my past answers:
get specific data from web page[^],
How to get the data from another site[^].
