Success with Google Books

A reader reported a great success with Google Books after issue 26 which discussed some search strategies and results I had with Google Books. I'll post her email here after I get the ok from her. If anyone else wants to share their Google Books experiences, let me know, or just post it as a comment.

Down the road, I'll be analyzing some of the items I found in Google Books and hope to have even more information and ideas to discuss.

  1. I had searched Google Books before with not much luck. After your article on the subject, I decided to give it another try. I entered the name of a gr-gr-grandfather thinking he would never appear in any book. Well, imagine my surprise when I found a Georgia Supreme Court case regarding an alimony dispute with wife #2 (out of 4, possibly 5; he is one of my more "interesting" ancestors!]. A great find. Thanks.

    p.s. I do not know what the "select profile" means so I just picked one.
