Google Books

I must confess I don't use Google Books as much as i probably could, though there hasn't really been an instance where I needed to.

Google Books would be great in my instance working in a library, if anyone came searching for a book but wasn't sure what the title was or who wrote it we could search on there.

I don't think Google is the new Microsoft. If it was, I'm sure they would be charging us as much as they could for the privilege. I think Google has actually surpassed Microsoft in many applications, and I look forward to seeing what they have to offer for the future.

Here is the link to the book I am currently reading now.

Never the Bride *2014 amendment* I still don't use Google Books for more than just trying to determine what a book title may be, however the scope of what Google Books can do since this course was undertaken has grown somewhat. Google Books provides searchers with reviews on the books searched (if they exist) and also information on where to purchase the books, and a link to WorldCat, where searches can see if their local library has a copy to borrow. It also attempts to be a 'one-stop shop' for information on books, like reviews, and user bookshelves, however I think GoodReads has that market cornered.
