Google has a Book Search?

Hey has any one noticed the Google Book Search ?

I did today as the first result I got was for a book from there for my search term.

Looks interesting. Like Amazon, they also let you preview part of the book.

Wonder if they take ebooks.

    I don't think so.
    They scan the book themselves.

      Google apparently scans around 3,000 books a day.

      There is some controversy about Google Book Search, with publishers and writers understandably concerned about copyright issues.

        Yup. I've been using it for several years now... usually good to look at public domain works. Otherwise, many of them are usually not available.
