To get access too more settings you can create a .goobookrc in your home directory:
[DEFAULT] #If not given here, email and password is taken from .netrc using host=google.com email: user@gmail.com password: top secret #The following are optional, defaults are shown max_results: 9999 cache_filename: ~/.goobook_cache cache_expiry_hours: 24
