Good one Roy. Is there a code chunk in there that invisibly appends 'ISerializable' as a referer (& credits accordingly)?

SBC - my own little trojan? Heh. No but seriously - the source is all these so you can change it.

FWIW, you can shorten

to
http://www.amazon.com/o/...

Your HTML markup is missing some of the actual code because the code contains characters that should be escaped. For example, book.Groups["book"] refers to a section in the regular expression named 'book'. However, the code aboove does not show any <book> section.

The code in your ZIP file looks like this:
const string pattern = @".*(ASIN|tg/detail/-)/(?<book>.\d*)/.*";
Your code above reads like this:
const string pattern = .*(ASIN|tg/detail/-)/(?.\d*)/.*";

I'm not sure why your leading @ and " are missing, but I think you just have to escape the < and > to get <book> back.

My fault for changing stuff manually inside the post istead of copy-pasting..
Will fix it. Thanks :)
