Metasearch Tool for Book Search
Alan Taylor, a professional Web Developer, created an ingenious tool that searches
A9/Amazon Search Inside the Book, Google Books, and Live Books at once. Taylor
recognized that , as wonderful as these book search engines are, "they require the
searcher to either guess which website is most likely to house the results they want,
or to try them one after the other."
This is an invaluable tool because there seems to be even less overlap among book
searches than web searches. As you can see from this search, the three search
engines returned a number of different books for one author.
