There is no "Google Print" library in a sense that I would think of one: i.e. I cannot seem to get any catalog of its collection or just browse Google Print. It works as an added feature to its regular search--so Google Print titles come up, as well as external links. This is fine in a way, because if I search for a text, and PG has it, the search results usually have a high ranking link to the a P.G. server. (So in a way, all of P.G. is essentially as findable to Google clients as Google Print is.) The lack of a catalog is bad in a way, for there is no easy way to see just what is available at Google that is in the public domain--in case you actually wanted to read an entire book on-line. You have to seach for topics or people and try to wend through what comes up in the search results. Of course Google does not claim to be a library. From its own website: "In general, Google Print is designed to help you discover books, not read them from start to finish. It's like going to a bookstore and browsing only with a Google twist." I do not find it a very useful service. But it is something that was not there before. I am not going to complain about it--that would be like looking a semi-lame-gift-nag-with-a-google-twist in the mouth. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Hart <hart@pglaf.org> Sent: Dec 28, 2004 6:49 AM To: undisclosed-recipients: ; Subject: [gutvol-d] !@!Googleberg eBooks How many of you have tried Google Print?
