I'll certainly be making good use of it from now on, though.J.

At the bottom of the "get this book" links on the left side, is "Find it in a Library." This calls out to Worldcat, and you can locate the book in a library using your zip code. Check it out.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17579747965482177383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026869257529481970.post-37784334589484053932009-09-03T13:27:02.416-04:002009-09-03T13:27:02.416-04:00I am glad to see you blogging again!

I was missing your posts in my google reader, and I was feeling way behind in appropriating new technology!<br /><br />I guess moving a bunch of times and professional commitments provide a valid excuse, but is nice to see you back.Echindodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385264316917215046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5026869257529481970.post-36217283781337010012009-09-03T12:05:00.256-04:002009-09-03T12:05:00.256-04:00Well said, Mark.

I normally at least look at <a href="http://www.worldcat.org/" rel="nofollow">WorldCat</a> to double-check, but I wonder if Google might ever consider integrating something like that into Google Books itself. From the excerpt you cited, it doesn't sound like it's a real priority on their to-do list, but from the perspective of scholarly users, it would be a nice feature.J.
