One day I can find a particular book, I come back the next day and enter the same search terms, and suddenly Google Books can't find it any more.
So what? If the environment changes (more books, new reviews, external linking, etc.), yesterdays assumptions could be different or even "wrong" today. Sidenote: It is the same with the idea of the iso-8859-1 (or ASCII for languages, that require more characters) version of books. These days everything should be UTF-8 encoded by default. The ASCII idea was fine some twenty years ago, but today it is time for change. On gutenberg you cannot find most books at all! They simply do not exist in our cosmos. And waht's worse, even the important books are mostly missing or weakly done. I'm hapy that google offers all these books. If one issue has defects, chances are high that there is another copy in the Google cache that you can use as a remedy. -- Karl Eichwalder
