googlebooks (#7)

Googlebooks seems to be yet another amazing site. I had never stumbled across it before  but now that I have , I fear it is going to consume  a lot of time!!!. From novels, to teaching texts , to magazines! To be able to tap into information about a book before buying is a real advantage! In my investigating I was able to view garden ideas and house ideas without having to even make a purchase!

I do however,  feel a little anxious about the impact sites like this will have on our book retailers. I don't know how they will be able to compete with this online resource . Yes it is informative and efficient but will we lose that opportunity to peruse  book store shelves? This is an enjoyable pastime which we may not have the pleasure of in the near future!!!!
