7 Google Books

Hi All

Google books allows people to search for books of particular interest on Google. Each book gives a brief summary about the book including bibliographic details i.e. Title, Author, date of publication, length and subject. Some books can be viewed in full due to copyright and others are limited or are shown in snippets or cannot be viewed because snippets are not available. In addition it provides information relating to scholarly publications, references, chapter titles etc...
There are links to direct you to bookstores of where you can buy the book and where you can borrow the book from libraries. I use Google books frequently especially when I cannot find the bibliographic details for a particular book on other databases to catalogue items in the library work in.
