Oh,... I'm not first. waaaaaaa!~ =o(

Hey this books is not in print form anywhere.. I remember googling this all over ..but no luck..

could you post in pdf form ? That would be super cool!!

/pd
I'd click on the link that says "The Google Book by Vincent Cartwright Vickers" if I where you.

huh Mrrix32: thats a xhtml based page.. I want a .pdf form :)-

I just optimized the print stylesheet a bit, you get somewhat good results in Opera 8/ 9 and IE7...

Just having fun.

A search of the Google News Archive Timeline for the term "Google" shows hits back as far back as the 1890's and ending in 1960. Nothing about the search company.

Sergey begins in 2000. Better

Is good but begins with a few false drops in the 1930's with stories about Stanford Football.

This is awesome! There are two typos that I caught, though:

In "The Lesser Nockit", 'Whic' should be 'Which'

In "The Gogo", 'no on' should be 'no one'

unless you're preserving typos in the original? If so a note about that would probably be good.

No no, those are my typos, thanks, fixed!

/pd: I've put a PDF version of Philip's The Google Book page on my site (so sorry about the non Google Book links). Be warned it comes out at 1Mb.

The link is http://www.empuriabravaonline.com/googlebook.php

Enjoy

So now, no one should blame for naming our kid Google kai.

Thank you so much for posting this! It was one of my favourite childhood books and is away in a box somewhere for when I have children.
