Ego-searching and discovering your past
“Never before could I have found such an obscure and wonderful gem. Google Book Search prompted me to buy two copies of a book that I never would have known about, otherwise.”
- Bernie Robichau, Columbia, SC

Some thoughts from librarians
"For the third time in the past week, I've been able to answer thorny reference questions using Google Book Search that I otherwise would have simply given up on...I tried Google Book Search and lo and behold -- there was my mystery reference. That was more than enough to steer me to the proper volume on the shelves here at the library. Mission accomplished!”
- Tom, library assistant
