This post [ http://booksearch.blogspot.com/2007/05/found-more-books.html] is dated a week ago but I don't think any one's mentioned it.

Google Book Search now has descriptions for books that it hasn't scanned in and links to buy the Book (and even a link to Froo...er I mean Google Product Search)

And I think the links at the bottom for libraries are new as well(?)
eg.. <<Search library catalogs for: 55 Ways >>

Oh and just so you know Google even lists books that aren't published yet :-)

Are the ads on the Book Text view new? The keep changing as well!

Interesting. Do they make affiliate money from people who buy a book on say Amazon through them?
