Google Print Search

Various authors, Apr 27, 2005

You can now search Google Books, and the masters behind the search engine have done it right. Pointing to this resource, Aaron Swartz offers a sample search. Clicking on the search brought me (surprisingly) a useful result, this Perl text from O'Reilly, Perl Template Toolkit. Expecting only to find a title and a plug to purchase the book (that is, useless results) I found myself looking at a full page and three more pages in either direction - usually more than enough to give me the information I need. The book, I might add, is a work that has never ever graced a bookstore here in Moncton (and probably never will, given Chapters's new policy of not stocking books).CRLF
