Book Search
Google Book Search allows you to instantly search the full text
of over a million digitized books, but we thought that wasn't
quite enough. Now when you search you'll get both digitized
book results as well as records for millions of other books that
still just exist in the analog world.
When you view these new added book records, you can often read
reviews, a summary, or see what other people had to say about the
book around the web. Since these books haven't been digitally
indexed yet, you can't preview the text online, but if
you've discovered something great, we offer links to buy the
book or

find it in a library near you.
We're doing this because we want to offer users the most
comprehensive book search in the world - whether it's a book
you can

written about the book. We're still very busy digitizing
millions more books, but want to make as much discoverable as
possible today.
