 * Book Search works just like web search. Try a search on [|Google Book Search] or on Google.com. When we find a book with content that contains a match for your search terms, we'll link to it in your search results.
 * If the book is out of copyright, or the publisher has given us permission, you'll be able to see a preview of the book, and in some cases the entire text. If it's in the public domain, you're free to download a PDF copy. [|Learn more about the different views].
 * We've created reference pages for every book so you can quickly find all kinds of relevant information: book reviews, web references, maps and more.[|See an example].
 * If you find a book you like, click on the "Buy this book" and "Borrow this book" links to see where you can buy or borrow it.
 * Currently, we are connecting readers with books in two ways: the [|Partner Program] and the [|Library Project].


 * [|My Library] **

You can now create personalized libraries on Google Book Search where you can label, review, rate, and of course, full-text search, a customized selection of books.

Create your library 1. Search Google Book Search for a keyword, title, or author. 2. Click the "Add to my library" link to start building your collection. 3. Once you've created a library, you can annotate it and share it with friends. [|Learn more].
